Re: [Python-Dev] Make extension module initialisation more like Python module initialisation

Nice idea, but some of those may break 3rd party libraries like Boost. Python that have their own equilavent of the Python/C API. Or Even SWIG might experience trouble in one or two of those.

Te idea is that this will be an alternative way of initialising a module that CPython will only use if an extension module exports the corresponding symbol. So it won't break existing code, neither source code nor binaries. Stefan
