You can have different namespaces inside the same interpreter.
Running multiple interpreters inside the same process is not
officially supported in python. You're likely to run into many
complex, hard to fix problem which no one wants to help you solve.

The pygtk module is a trivial tiny wrapper to handle different
versions of the gtk bindings.
