Yes, that's the only extension you need, and you don't need to restart.

If you want you can use BuildApplication (on the mac only) on your app to 
bundle your app, PythonCore and all extension modules neded into a single mac 
executable. That way you also don't have to distribute the Python tree, the 
application will be completely self-contained.
