Summary: C extension modules with same short name

Initial Comment:
I am working on a language interoperability project,
http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/components/. We have an IDL
that gets converted into Python C extension modules. If
we have an IDL such as this:

package MPIB {
  interface Base {
  }
}

package MPIB.Default {
  class Base implements-all MPIB.Base {
  }
}

We end up with two C extension modules whose short name
is Base.  There is a symbol conflict when loading both
because they both use "initBase" as the DLL/SO
initialization function.  It would be nice if C
extension modules could use the fully qualified module
name instead of the short name for the initialization
function.  For example,

initMPID_Base and initMPIB_Default_Base 
or
initMPIDBase and initMPIDDefaultBase

What do you think?
