I'm assuming that you want to have predefined variables and constants.
You might want to look at the section 'Adding "constants"' (which, in
Python, are really variables anyway) in the "Python Extension writing"
document.  That might help you.

The URL for the document is

Remember that modules, whether a C extension or not, are mutable and
you can always add or remove names there.
