- mjw1007 5y agoSoftware that embeds Python uses the library (even on Debian and Ubuntu: they end up building the whole Python source base twice). For example Vim (if so configured), or Postgres PL/Python, or the old Apache mod_python.
- usr1106 5y agoInteresting. Performancewise not having to call a separate executable is of course a good thing. Securitywise process boundaries are better.
