Subject: [PATCH] Fix importing of shared libraries from inside packages. This
 is a bit of a hack: when the shared library is loaded, the module name is
 "package.module", but the module calls Py_InitModule*() with just "module"
 for the name.  The shared library loader squirrels away the true name of the
 module in _Py_PackageContext, and Py_InitModule*() will substitute this (if
 the name actually matches).
