However, I'm working to maintain different modules in different C compilation units, in order to workaround the obvious issue with duplicated global C symbols. > So assuming the same thing works with a .so instead of a .py, > all you need to do is emit a .so whose init function stuffs > appropriate entries into sys.modules to make it look like > a package. > However, the import machinery does not treat .so the same as *.pyx. For example, I have a problem with Python 3. For .py modules, before the module code starts to execute, the matching entries in sys.modules is already there. The same happens in Python 2 for .so modules, as Py_InitModule() add the entry in sys.modules early. However, in Python 3 that is not te case (and only for the .so, for .py is the same as in Py2), the import machinery adds the entry later, after the finalization of the module init function. I'm tempted to workaround this by setting the entry in sys.modules right after the call to PyModule_Create() ... What do you think about this?
