If I reference the same python module from mypython1 and mypython2

Then FreeRADIUS initializes and functions properly.
Due to limitation in the Python interpreter, FreeRADIUS *cannot* instantiate multiple independent Python interpreters.

  Any module you load has to be from one global Python module space / namespace.

However, if I use a
different module for each, and in this test case a copy of same tested and
functioning python program with a different name:
python mypython1 {
       module = example
       ...
}
python mypython2 {
       module = example2
       ...
}
I get the following error initializing:
# Instantiating module "mypython2" from file
/etc/freeradius/3.0/mods-enabled/mypython2
python_function_load - Module 'example2' not found
<type 'exceptions.SystemError'> (null argument to internal routine)

You should be able to load completely different Python modules, but they will both largely be running in the same interpreter.

  i.e. if you can't load the same module twice in Python, you can't load it twice in FreeRADIUS.
