"True or false, defaults to false. Indicates whether the comp_root can be
modified on this interpreter between requests."


Is that really supposed to mean that if you change the comp_root in
this request, that's the value you start with in the next request?

It seems to me from actually testing it that, depending on the child
process, modifications do appear to persist between requests which
gives weight to my reading.

Is that really what you developers intended?

It's certainly not what I suggested ;)
