Sure, but this is very different. You can still use NumPy in a project using asyncio. You are _not_ able to use NumPy in a project using subinterpreters.
To put it another way, the moment you start using subinterpreters, the set of extension modules you are able to use will shrink *enormously*. And if I understand correctly, you won't get any nice "This module does not support subinterpreters" exception if you import an incompatible module -- just an obscure crash, probably of the core-dumping variety. To me this would feel like programming in the middle of a lethal minefield. -- Greg
