multiple embedded python interpreters?

[Darrell Gallion]

You may be able to use a single interpreter.
Check out exec
    exec yourBuf in globalVarDict, localVarDict

Would this give you enough isolation ?
Maintain a separate globals and locals for what would have been separate
interpreters.

If perfect isolation is your game, then pyro might be the ticket.
Pyro makes IPC a dream, so you spawn off interpreter servers as needed. Then
use pyro to talk to them.
