It is called from the same file by these line:
func = globals().get("_init_" + os.name)
if func:
func()
If you don't see print statements at runtime, then it might be the
case that it's called at translation time instead. The module's state
with _init_posix() already called would then get frozen inside the
translated pypy.
A bientôt,
