Question

I’m wondering how many python interpreter would be executed for distinct python apps?
Say I have 6 different python apps up and running, so does that mean there are 6 different python interpreters are running for each of them?

Answer 1

when executing a python script, you have 1 interpreter running per process executing.

• if your application executes in a single process, you have 1 interpreter executing for each instance of your application.
• if your application launches multiple processes, then you get additional interpreters for each process launched.
• if your application uses threads, the interpreter is shared between the multiple threads which belong to the same process.
