There are already 430 functions which are already supported...
PyObject_CallObject was one of the easiest.
The recent developments brought the ability to start a pypy interpreter
from C code.

Not very well, but this is also the case for CPython.
Note that PyObject_CallObject for example has no context to specify which
interpreter it would use;
and there can only be one PyObject_CallObject function in a single
executable.

Why do you need independent interpreters?
Would multiple threads suit your needs?
