Ok, maybe I mis-stated my problem (or mis-understood your answers).. I 
don' t want to share code as in have multiple processes access a 
variable and have the same value, like it is done in threads, what I 
want is to not have n copies of the code (classes, functions, etc) 
loaded by n python interpreters. When you load Apache for instance, it 
runs n processes but loads only one copy of parts of it's code (so/dll), 
that's what I want to do. In C/C++ I would write a shared-lib (so/dll), 
so once the system has loaded it, it doesn' t re-load it when another 
process needs it.

Thank you,
Gabriel
