Extension module interdependencies

[Mark Rowe]

Hello,

I'm building a package with the layout:

    pkg/
          __init__.py
          foo.so
          bar.so

where foo.so and bar.so are extension modules written in C.  In bar.so, 
several custom types are defined.  A method in foo.so creates instances 
of these custom types by way of a newBarObject function defined in 
bar.so.  Problems arise when building the package using distutils.  
foo.so needs to be linked against bar.so, as it uses methods defined in 
bar.so, but I am unsure how to get distutils to do this for me.

Any help would be appreciated.
