I've attached a patch that implements what I think is a reasonable fix
for the problem I found. Essentially, it implements
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE under python3 such that each invocation of the
macro creates a new static PyModuleDef. I also reimplemented
bp::detail::init_module for the python3 case to take a PyModuleDef
parameter rather than a name.
As far as I can tell, these changes work well. I ran bjam in
"libs/python/test" and didn't see any failures...I saw a lot of lines
saying "**passed**", but none saying "**failed**", so I assume things
are ok. If there are more tests that need to be run, please let me
know, and tell me how to run them.
I also tested the changes against a project which was manifesting the
original problem I described, and the problems went away. That is,
with the changes in this patch, my extension modules all have the
correct "__name__" now.
