Hi, I'm now making a plug-in for a CG software. I embed Python in a plugin and it works. The problem is that it conflicts with other plugins that also embeds Python because it runs in the same thread. I don't know when Py_Initialize() and Py_Finalize() are executed because I don't know when user loads/unloads a plugin that embeds Python. Is there any right way to embed Python in a plug-in under the following conditions? If not, what options do I have to give up any of them?
- My plug-in has no way to know when the user loads/unloads it. - My plug-in has no way to know when the user loads/unloads somebody else's plug-in that embeds Python. - Somebody else's plug-in might have used any Python/C API including GIL related stuff, new_interpreter, PyGILState_* - Every plug-in initially runs in the same thread but some plug-in can start a new thread. - Preferably my plug-in has its own __main__ - My plug-in doesn't have to be thread safe but shouldn't disturb any other plug-in (so should be thread safe anyway) Typical problem is: - When somebody else loads or unloads another plugin and calls Py_IsInitialized() or Py_Finalize(), my plugin fails - When some other plugin uses PyGILState*(), both plugin fails because my plug-in uses new interpreter (I'm new to Python/C API so I may be misunderstanding one ore more) Any suggestion is appreciated.
