Normally, it isn't possible to call C functions in pure Python mode as there
is no general way to support it in normal (uncompiled) Python. However, in
cases where an equivalent Python function exists, this can be achieved by
combining C function coercion with a conditional import as follows::

Note that the "sin" function will show up in the module namespace of "mymodule"
here (i.e. there will be a ``mymodule.sin()`` function). You can mark it as an
