Why can't the documents share a single interpreter?  You're getting into 
areas of the python core that are not used that often and have 
limitations.  I suspect you'll run into problems with other extensions 
in time and you'll probably end up working with a C debugger to 
understand how things work.  That said, patches to pygtk in order to get 
this work would be considered as long as they don't complicate things 
too much.
