This would be the easiest solution if Python were designed to do this
from the beginning. I have previously stated that I believe the lack
of a context pointer in Python's C API is a design flaw, albeit one
that is difficult to change.

If the alternative is to rewrite the whole CPython interpreter, I
would say it it easier to try a proxy object design instead (either
using multiprocessing or an outproc ActiveX object).
