Yes, a script is shared among all objects executing the same script. This is
because there is only one instance of the Python interpreter and the script
is loaded as a module (once).
So, if you want to have different instances, you have to use different
scripts.

With pyext (the real Python external) the situation will be a bit clearer.

Thanks, i'll fix that.
