\section{Extension modules}
There are some undocumented goodies here, too. Someone should make a
list.
bsddbmodule.c -- Interface to the Berkeley DB interface (yet another
dbm clone).
cmathmodule.c -- Exactly the same as math, except takes complex
arguments and returns complex results.
cursesmodule.c -- Curses interface.
dbhashmodule.c -- Obsolete.
dlmodule.c -- A highly experimental and dangerous device for calling
arbitrary C functions in arbitrary shared libraries.
newmodule.c -- Tommy Burnette's `new' module (creates new empty
objects of certain kinds) -- dangerous.
nismodule.c -- NIS (a.k.a. Sun's Yellow Pages) interface.
timingmodule.c -- Measure time intervals to high resolution (obsolete
-- use time.clock() instead).
The following are SGI specific:
clmodule.c -- Interface to the SGI compression library.
svmodule.c -- Interface to the ``simple video'' board on SGI Indigo
(obsolete hardware).
