Nick Coghlan d5cacbb1d9 PEP 489: Multi-phase extension module initialization 
Known limitations of the current implementation:

- documentation changes are incomplete
- there's a reference leak I haven't tracked down yet

The leak is most visible by running:

  ./python -m test -R3:3 test_importlib

However, you can also see it by running:

  ./python -X showrefcount

Importing the array or _testmultiphase modules, and
then deleting them from both sys.modules and the local
namespace shows significant increases in the total
number of active references each cycle. By contrast,
with _testcapi (which continues to use single-phase
initialisation) the global refcounts stabilise after
a couple of cycles.
