Nope. Perhaps if you made a second copy (of the dll file) and gave it 
a different name. Or perhaps the dll uses thread local storage, and 
if you attach from different threads it will act like each thread has 
its own copy. But I doubt it.

Different processes will get different copies, so maybe you could use 
IPC between 2 python scripts...
