Don't know why it got posted where it did (in the mysql-python forum on SF), but some guy posted a question/problem about executing PyNewInterpreter twice. I have no experience with this sort of stuff, so I figured I'd forward it along to the people with the smarts in this area:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msgid=249171 (Need I say, "don't respond to me"? ;-)

I've posted a quick pointer to Demo/pysvr which shows how to use Py_NewInterpreter().

It is possible that mysql contains global state that can't be shared between interpreters; mysql may have to be changed to fix that. But I don't know.
