Some people have tried to instantiate multiple completely separate
Python instances.  So far, I have not seen any confirmed reports of
success.  If you really want to parallelize Python code (as opposed to
calls to extension libraries that can release the GIL), you'll pretty
much need to use multiple processes -- and as MvL pointed out, that
really only helps you if you've got multiple CPUs.
