This would work if they "embedded" Python rather than "extending" it.
Using Python as an embedded scripting engine, the embedding
application (probably the main PSP executable) can define whatever
modules it wants as built-in modules prior to executing Python code.
The "modules" actually exist right in the executable that is starting
the Python interpreter.

If true, then it would make it less likely you could use that
functionality from an externally initiated Python script, since that
script wouldn't have started from the right environment containing
those built-in modules.
