ParaView relied on using Py_NewInterpreter() for creating separate pyhton interpreters in the application. Py_NewInterpreter() causes issues with Python threading (esp. GIL related things). As a result we decided to refactor Python embedding in ParaView/VTK (VTK too since the introduction on Matplotlib). The new design uses a global Python interpreter (used by all filters including Matplotlib rendering code) with the ability to create interactive interpreter (for the PythonShell). On disconnect, we only discard the interactive interpreter, thus the global Python interpreter remains active. We will cleanup servermanager and simply Python Modules in subsequent commits to work correctly with long live Python interpreters. Change-Id: I705b024542e2598ca55d62d32de7e7d704f48e79
