[Numpy-discussion] How to export a CObject from NumPy to my own module?

[NumPyStudent]

Well, I believe I should problably use the PyArray_API instead
(http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t358140-re-dynamically-loaded-libraries.html),
since it seems it's implemented in NumPy for this exact reason(?).
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good step-step guide og using this
api to export function pointers from NumPy to your own modules?
