Actually, I believe 3.0 already took a big step towards allowing this by changing the way modules are initialised. You are believing correctly. Martin has designed and implemented a nicely working API to store extension module data per interpreter state. For now interpreter states are used for sub interpreters only. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3121/

But the extension modules still have to changed to use this mechanism, right?

Thanks, Thomas
