| NumPy does not currently support subinterpreters, it has global state that is not cleaned up when releasing the module. I could not find a description of the steps I need to take to modernize the C-extension module to be able to used under a subinterpreter. It would be nice to describe this in the Python documentation, or does such documentation exist? | ||

| Hi (and sorry for the delay -- it's a busy time of year). Unfortunately, there's no good documentation yet. Python's standard library itself is not free of global state, and I don't think we want to start documenting before that's fixed. |
