Okay, this description seems correct.  Multiple threads, multiple 
stacks, therefore multiple contexts and yes, by this definition, 
multiple interpreters.

No "master thread" however.  Just all the threads that are visible in 
"threading.enumerate()", which includes the main thread (that the code 
runs in at startup) and any new ones spawned afterwards.
