STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com> added the comment:

I'm not sure that it could work because many C functions use caches using 
static variables.

Just a random example:
int
_PyUnicode_HasNULChars(PyObject* s)
{
    static PyObject *nul = NULL;

    if (nul == NULL)
        nul = PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize("\0", 1);
    if (nul == NULL)
        return -1;
    return PyUnicode_Contains(s, nul);
}

If hash(nul) is computed in an interpreter, the same hash value will be used by 
all interpreters. If interpreters use a different hash secret, you will have a 
problem.
