Or that. I haven't built any Python extensions in, well, ever, and
haven't even deployed other people's in years, so I'm a bit rusty.
Anyway, point is you don't have to care where it actually comes from.

The one thing that I do kinda miss in Python is an easy way to "shadow
and pull in the original" - to create something earlier in the search
path, but then have that file get a reference to "the module that
would have been loaded if I hadn't been here". It's not often you want
it, but quite frankly, I don't know how I'd spell it at all. There
probably is a way, but I've no idea what it is...
