If your Pyrex file is called "foo.pyx", then its Python
module name is "foo".

But if you're just trying to access an extension type
defined in one Pyrex module from another Pyrex module,
don't make it an extern class -- use the cimport
mechanism instead. See "Sharing Declarations Between
Pyrex Modules" in the Language Overview.

You only need to use extern extension types if you
need access to the internals of a non-Pyrex extension
type from Pyrex, or vice versa.
