cdef public object Text_Init():
     ...
     import Blender.Text as retval
     return retval

or, if Pyrex doesn't allow the above:

cdef extern from "Python.h":
     object PyImport_ImportModule(char *name)

cdef public object Text_Init():
     ...
     return PyImport_ImportModule("Blender.Text")
