[New-bugs-announce] [issue24328] Extension modules with single-letter names can't be loaded

[Petr Viktorin]

New submission from Petr Viktorin:

A regression in the PEP 489 implementation prevents loading extension modules with single-character names (because length-1 bytestrings are interned).

Here is a fix. It would be great to have it in 3.5.0b2.
