[C++-sig] How to access a custom module from embedded Python?

[Pierre Barbier de Reuille]

Hello !

I had the same problem and found that if you call :

   PyImport_AppendInittab(mname, initmodule);

before the Py_Initialize(), with mname your module name and initmodule
the initialisation function, it just works fine.
