They won't be indedepent. If an extension module has a global variable, that will be shared across interpreters. If that variable supports modifiable state, such modifications will "leak" across interpreters. For example, there will be only a single object class. With that in mind, take a look at object.__subclasses__(); it would provide access to all classes, including those in the other interpreters. Likewise, gc.get_objects() will give you the complete list of all objects. So the isolation is not strong enough to run untrusted code isolated from other code.
