2. I'd like to see isolation based on multiple interpreters, but the problem lies with extensions (and at a lower level with the Python C API) which wasn't designed with isolation in mind. Changing that may be nice, but it's probably too late (or if not, it's likely to be a lot of work to do it in a compatible manner).
Actually, I believe 3.0 already took a big step towards allowing this by changing the way modules are initialised.
Cheers, Nick.
