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

There's nothing recursive about a Pyrex module importing
itself. By the time any user-written initialisation code
gets run, the module object has already been created and
added to sys.modules, so it can be imported.

But perhaps I don't correctly understand what you're
trying to do. It sounded like you were re-implementing
an existing extension module in Pyrex. If that's not the
case, you'll have to elaborate.
