Correct; rv_continuous does not handle multidimensional distributions.

I don't think there are any frameworks out there along the lines of
rv_continuous. There is code for sampling certain multivariate
distributions in numpy.random. If you need to sample from an arbitrary
multidimensional distribution, you will need to look at PyMC for doing
Markov-chain Monte Carlo.
