  You'll just have to get over that one... ;)

  If you try "import spammodule" it should fail:

>>> import parsermodule
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initparsermodule)

  (Only yours will say "initspammodule".)
  If you want the .so to be named spam.so, rename the source file to
spam.c and adjust Setup.in to say:

       *shared*
       spam spam.c
