Can you explain how to do this with distutils then? Would I need a separate setup.py for SpamABC and SpamXYZ? How would I get them included in the parent module Spam?
Please consult the distutils documentation. http://docs.python.org/distutils/index.html In short, you only need one setup.py file. from distutils.core import setup, Extension setup( ... ext_modules=[ Extension('Spam.ABC', sources=['src/spam_abc.c']), Extension('Spam.XYZ', sources=['src/spam_xyz.c']), ], packages=['Spam'], ... )
Could you explain what you mean when you say "The Python import mechanism will be looking for an appropriately-named .pyd file for each module"? Are you saying that in python when I say from "Spam.ABC import *" I need a file called "Spam.ABC.[so|pyd]"?
No, it will be looking for Spam/ABC.pyd where Spam/ is your package directory (i.e. it should have an __init__.py file, like any other Python package).
