I'm not sure about how different it is to start the GUI event loop from C++ that it is to do it from Python as we do it, but SIP SIMPLE already runs in a different thread. You can check sipsimple/application.py, there is a function called _run_reactor which will run the Twisted reactor on a new Python thread.

Since you are running code on ObjC maybe you need to spawn a new thread where the Python interpreter is run, but I'm not sure since I haven't done that before...  Seems to me that when you run the Python interpreter in the ObjC code it's executed on the main thread, so that probably gets on your way. In our case we launch the event loop from Python, that's why we don't run into such issues.

I may be wrong, but give that option a chance :-)
