Hi, back from vacation :-)

I would like to know if this behaviour (not taking namespace into
account in generated Cython code) is a deliberate design choice, or a
wart that should be fixed if possible. In the latter case, I'll open an
issue about it.

FYI, the behaviour was newly introduced in 2014 when the Python<->C
conversion code was rewritten (rev. fd565517). Code like the OP's worked
fine before that.
