I don't see how the situation benefits from calling something the "main interpreter". Subinterpreters can be a way to take something non-thread-safe and make it thread-safe, because in an interpreter-per-thread scheme, most of the state, like module globals, are thread-local. (Well, this doesn't help for async concurrency, but anyway.)
You could have a privileged C extension that is only imported in the main interpreter:
if get_current_interp() is main_interp(): from _decimal import * else: from _pydecimal import *
Oops.. it should of course be "by_this_process", not "by_other_process" (fixed below).
Or it could be first-come first-served:
if is_imported_by_ this _process("_decimal"):
from _pydecimal import *
else from _decimal import *
