Ah, I think I have a partial answer... but not a complete answer.

I've looked inside the pgmodule.c source code, and it includes this
snippet:
extern void
initpg(void)
{
char *p;
int i;
Py_InitModule("pg", pg_methods);
which suggests that the pgmodule.so file creates a module called "pg".
What I don't understand is how "import pg" gets turned into "run
pgmodule.so"?
