  /* For now, _interpreter is implemented as a singleton since its currently not
     possible to have multiple independent embedded python interpreters without
     patching the python source code or starting a separate process for each.
     [1] Furthermore, many python objects expect that they are destructed in the
     same thread as they were constructed. [2] So for advanced usage, a `kill()`
     function is provided so that library users can manually ensure that the
     interpreter is constructed and destroyed within the same thread.
