Hi,

I am embedding Python into a multi-threaded C++ application runnig on
Solaris and need urgent clarification on the embedding architecture and
its correct usage (as I am experience weird behaviors).

Can anyone clarify:

- if Python correctly supports multiple sub-interpreters
(Py_NewInterpreter) ?

- if Python correctly supports multiple thread states per
sub-interpreter (PyThreadState_New) ?

and the "real" question:

- what is the rationale for choosing one of:

[a] one sub-interpreter with many thread states
[b] many sub-interpreters with one thread state each
[c] many sub-interpreters with many threas states each

Thanks for helping
Alan
