I need to use these to get the proper concurrency in my multi-threaded

Why will multiple interpreters give you better concurrency? You can
have more than one thread in the same interpreter.
Here is the API explained:
http://docs.python.org/c-api/init.html
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3641
CPython's GIL means that multithreading on multiple processors/cores has
limitations. Each interpreter has its own GIL, so processor-intensive
applications work better using the multiprocessing module than with the
threading module.
I believe you will find the above is incorrect - even with multiple
interpreter states you still have a single GIL.
