Here is the file/module name: _msgpps_functions.c
Here is the initfunction:

PyMODINIT_FUNC init_msgpps_functions(void) {
  PyObject* m;
  m=Py_InitModule("_msgpps_functions",_msgpps_functionsMethods);
  ErrorObject = PyString_FromString("_msgpps_functions.error");
  if(ErrorObject == NULL ||						\
     PyDict_SetItemString(PyModule_GetDict(m),"error",ErrorObject)!=0)
{
    Py_FatalError("Can't define _msgpps_functions.error");
    import_array();
  }     /*  access to Numeric PyArray functions */
}


I have not main() function in the file. Instead the main function is
called the same name:

static PyObject* _msgpps_functions(PyObject* self, PyObject* args)

Now I am new at this and I have been reading anything I can find. The
only thing that is out of place is the part which I didn't include:

    /* Initialize the Python interpreter.  Required. */
    Py_Initialize();

    /* Add a static module */
    initspam();
because I still don't understand this part.
