> Basically, exec and eval don't work. Since we don't use those in production code at Google, this seemed acceptable.
What about stuff like literal_eval? Or even just monkeypatching with name.__dict__[param] = value ?
> It does fine grained locking. Mutable data structures like lists and dicts do their own locking. Incidentally, this is one reason why supporting C extensions would be complicated.
Would there be a succinct theoretical description of exactly how that's implemented anywhere? What about things like numpy arrays.
