SWIG: ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function

[Louis Luangkesorn]

Ok, I'm having a bit of a clue problem.  Which modules should I be looking at?
I've been searching through the example code that comes with SWIG 1.3.7 as well as
the Python source on SourceForge. What is supposed to go into the initcnumint()
function?  There seem to be a couple of different things that can be done.  One
was from mathmodule.c

initmath(void)
{
        PyObject *m, *d, *v;

        m = Py_InitModule3("math", math_methods, module_doc);
        d = PyModule_GetDict(m);
/* stuff */
}

Another one is from newmodule.c

initnew(void)
{
        Py_InitModule4("new", new_methods, new_doc, (PyObject *)NULL,
                       PYTHON_API_VERSION);
}

So, what are Py_InitModule3 and Py_InitModule4?  Which one should I be using? Do
any of the Python (or SWIG) .c files have a good model to use to implement a
init<module>() function?  Looked at the Extending and Embedding docs also but I
think I missed it. Thanks.
