Name conflict when python modules are transformed to C

[Joth]

Hi,

I am trying to package a python project as a library to call it form C++.

In the case where I have 2 python modules with the same name but in different namespaces:

my_namespace_a.my_module

my_namespace_b.my_module

The 2 generated C files would define 2 functions with the same name: 

PyInit_my_module

It would result in a name conflict when linking C++ program.

How to deal with it ?

I think there's at least two tools that solve this problem in slightly different ways:

https://github.com/smok-serwis/snakehouse

https://github.com/dave-msk/merak

I'd suggest you either use one of these tools (I don't have a recommendation which one) or you at least follow their solution.

I'd also say: Cython isn't really designed to collapse multiple modules together like this, so maybe reconsider if what you're doing is a good idea.
