One concern I have is if two users both "import widget". Are they now sharing the widget namespace? I suspect they are, and that is probably undesirable.
Yes, they will be, unless you use sub-interpreters. I've just been looking at the current docs for sub-interpreters, and assuming they're not lying too wildly, sub-interpreters might be what you're after. https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html An excerpt: PyThreadState* Py_NewInterpreter() Create a new sub-interpreter. This is an (almost) totally separate environment for the execution of Python code. In particular, the new interpreter has separate, independent versions of all imported modules, including the fundamental modules builtins, __main__ and sys. The table of loaded modules (sys.modules) and the module search path (sys.path) are also separate. The new environment has no sys.argv variable. It has new standard I/O stream file objects sys.stdin, sys.stdout and sys.stderr (however these refer to the same underlying file descriptors). -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
