While dealing with my pragma code I encountered this issue which I want
to note down (I need to know how to deal with it for pragmas):
cimport python_int as a
a.PyInt_Check(3)
cimport python_dict as a
a.PyInt_Check(3)
a.PyDict_New()
Apparently, only the first cimport is considered, so that PyDict_New is
turned into a module dict lookup and PyInt_Check is a native C call also
the second time. If the order of the cimports are reversed, the opposite
happen.
It wouldn't take long to raise a compiler error on the second cimport as
a fix for now ("name a already taken by a cimport"), but since it would
break backwards compatability to some degree (of already broken code, I
suppose) I wanted to check with you first.
Long term I suppose having the second PyInt_Check above turn into a
dictionary lookup above is the wanted behaviour, but given that we give
a compiler error now then such behaviour will be backwards compatible.
