This allows a plug-in to be loaded to use the main interpreter rather than a sub-interpreter, which is required for certain common third-party libraries that don’t support sub-interpreters, such as numpy. You can also run plug-ins with even more isolation, and use a separate Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) to the parent interpreter. This means that two different plug-ins can be executed in parallel.
