* The `PyImport_AppendInittab() <https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/import.html#c.PyImport_AppendInittab>`_

for later imports.
* Also see the documentation of the
`module init function <https://docs.python.org/3/extending/extending.html#the-module-s-method-table-and-initialization-function>`_

initialisation mechanism in CPython 3.5 and later.
Initialising your main module
=============================
Most importantly, DO NOT call the module init function instead of importing
the module. This is not the right way to initialise an extension module.
(It was always wrong but used to work before, but since Python 3.5, it is
wrong *and* no longer works.)
For details, see the documentation of the
`module init function <https://docs.python.org/3/extending/extending.html#the-module-s-method-table-and-initialization-function>`_
in CPython and `PEP 489 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489/>`_ regarding the module
initialisation mechanism in CPython 3.5 and later.
The `PyImport_AppendInittab() <https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/import.html#c.PyImport_AppendInittab>`_
function in CPython allows registering statically (or dynamically) linked extension
modules for later imports. An example is given in the documentation of the module
init function that is linked above.
