Documentation is at:

  http://docs.python.org/c-api/init.html

Are you really using sub interpreters though? There is no evidence of
that in the code you posted earlier.

Sure you just don't understand enough about it and so are using the
wrong terminology and all you really want to do is run externally
created threads through the one interpreter.

Using sub interpreters is not for the feint of heart and not something
you want to do unless you want to understand Python C API internals
very well.
