[Pyrex] referencing the module object (__pyx_m aka module_cname)?

[Yann Vernier]

I'm trying to replace a C/Python module called "Text", which is
statically linked and initialized by a function called Text_Init.
So far that's pretty simple, but the function needs to return the newly
created Module Object. I found it in the generated C code, it's called
__pyx_m, but I can't seem to access it properly.

This part works, but the "module" name needs a working declaration:

# initText is the initializer for dynamic loading
cdef public void initText() except *
# Text_Init is called when this is linked statically
cdef public object Text_Init():
  initText()
  return module

I've tried a few combinations:
  cdef extern object __pyx_m
    No go, Pyrex says Python Objects can't be extern.
  cdef object __pyx_m
    This causes a duplicate declaration, which is fine, and an
    initialization to None which is not. Segfault due to that
    overlapping initialization.
  cdef public object __pyx_m
    This uses some DL_EXPORT magic, and there will be colliding symbols
    from other modules in that case. Also initalizes as above.

How can this be done?
