Is this the correct place to post a jython question?
I posted the following in the jython group, but I figured I'd post here too: _________________________________________ I am assuming that the PythonInterpreter environment is not a unique environment from within a jvm.
Here is some pseudo code to show what I am talking about 1) create a jython module file, lets call it "mytest" with a simple static class class simpleS: myVar = "test01" 2) Now set up two interpreter environments from within the same jvm PythonInterpreter py = new PythonInterpreter() PythonInterpreter py1 = new PythonInterpreter() 3) now in both interpreters, import the module py.exec("import mytest") py1.exec("import mytest") Now for both interpreters run "print mytest.simpleS.myVar" 4) Now for the crazy part. in the py interpreter run "mytest.simpleS.myVar = 'test02' in py1 look at the value "print mytest.simpleS.myVar"
Very interesting behavior. So it seems that each python interpreter instance does not act as its own seperate space.
My understanding is that the two PythonInterpreters wrap a single PySystemState which is where the modules are cached. So they share the same modules. If you want different behaviour you should give them each their own PySystemState.
