The Python "extension modules" that people often mention are Python
modules that have been written in a language other than Python.  If the
extension module has been written well, we shouldn't be able to recognize
an extension module from a regular module written in Python.

For a concrete example of an extension module, take a look at Tkinter ---
that module is actually written in C, but has been wrapped so well that it
feels Pythonic.


However, I'm not sure if this is what you mean by "C++ module".  Please
feel free to ask more questions about this, and we'll try to give a more
appropriate answer.

Talk to you later!
