You need to change Python/dynload_shlib.c:

  from: sprintf(funcname, "init%.200s", shortname);
  to:   sprintf(funcname, "_init%.200s", shortname);

This line is very near the start of the file.

I've been thinking of submitting this as a patch to the main source, but I
don't know what other platforms need the same change as the comment in
dynload_shlib implies.
