This is a bit of a minefield.

C extension modules which are using the "simplified" GIL API will 
deadlock if accessed in anything other than the first interpreter, IIRC.

I also think you can run into problems with C extension modules and 
unloading if you destroy interpreters.

The mod_wsgi docs contain a few of the pitfalls:

It'll probably be fine for pure python, but it's very chancy with any C 
extension modules (which are the most interesting bits).
