Yes: as long as each site is running in its own virtual host the
interpreters will be independent... at least that is my
understanding. :-)

You can control how subinterpreters are allocated using the
PythonInterp* series of configuration directives.

Perhaps you could generate a random number in each __init__ function,
then write it to the log from each site using apache.log_error.  That
would at least tell you if you are getting different instances in each
site.
