I believe that you cannot create multiple interepreters in a single
executable.
The python global lock is to prevent *threads* within the interpreter from
stomping on each other's critical sections.

Anyhow..  we have a similar need.  Since I am going to create an
interpreter, create threads for each worker, and have them jump into C code
to block waiting for the C++ code to get a client.  You might have to do
some tricky synchronization between the two "thread pools" but it's totally
workable.
