ToolFamilyGlobalStateGroup Attribute deprecated?

Hi!

 

There used to be an additional entry on this help page:

 

https://help.alteryx.com/developer/current/Python/use/Python Tool Family.htm

 

Was the ToolFamilyGlobalStateGroup attribute deprecated or is it still there for us to use? I searched for this in the community and didn't see it mentioned anywhere.

Yes, it was an experimental feature that was intended to extend separation of global interpreter between Python SDK tools using sub-interpreters, however it breaks when use of extension modules such as numpy and ctypes.  We had to then remove it and now only support the use of ToolFamily configuration setting.
