The *fullname* argument specifies the name of the module the loader is to
support. The *path* argument is the path to the extension module's file.
Note that, by default, importing an extension module will fail
in subinterpreters if it doesn't implement multi-phase init
(see :pep:`489`), even if it would otherwise import successfully.

Multi-phase init is now required for use in subinterpreters.

.. function:: _incompatible_extension_module_restrictions(*, disable_check)
A context manager that can temporarily skip the compatibility check
for extension modules. By default the check is enabled and will fail
when a single-phase init module is imported in a subinterpreter.
It will also fail for a multi-phase init module that doesn't
explicitly support a per-interpreter GIL, when imported
in an interpreter with its own GIL.
Note that this function is meant to accommodate an unusual case;
one which is likely to eventually go away. There's is a pretty good
chance this is not what you were looking for.
You can get the same effect as this function by implementing the
basic interface of multi-phase init (:pep:`489`) and lying about
support for mulitple interpreters (or per-interpreter GIL).
.. warning::
Using this function to disable the check can lead to
unexpected behavior and even crashes. It should only be used during
extension module development.
