I believe you, but I'd like to understand why. :) It seems to me that a module and also PyInit_xxx() can be loaded portably. Say the handles to the module are cached somewhere after loading and initializing. I think this already happens in Python/dynload_shlib.c. Why can't another module use a slightly modified form of _PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc() to get any non-static function apart from PyInit_xxx() by re-using the cached handle?
