No, but that's not what I'm saying. The only dependency here is printf,
so Py++ should export do_smth, because it is from the main file, and
printf from stdio.h, because do_smth depends on it.

In my opinion that is not a particularly good assumption. Why not work
without it and instead export all the dependencies of the file I'm
passing?


Best,
