FWIW, there's more to it than that: * there is some overhead to starting the runtime and main interpreter that does not apply to additional in-process interpreters * I don't see why we shouldn't be able to come up with a strategy for interpreter startup that does not involve copying or sharing a lot of interpreter state, thus reducing startup time and memory consumption * I'm guessing that re-importing builtin/extension modules is faster than importing then new in a separate process -eric _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/M7FZL6LVEP2CRMDKGZE4BA6G7WOS542H/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
