Alternative to other suggestions:
Instead of module.so, call it _module.so. Then down the end of module.py:
try:
from _module import *
except ImportError:
# either panic or shrug as appropriate
Note: the "shrug" response would be appropriate for the use case where
"module" contains all necessary functionality, and the
optionally-present "_module" contains replacement classes/types and/or
functions that are better in some sense e.g. more memory/CPU efficient.
