No, it means what it says. The OP seems to have stumbled past all the
hurdles imposed by using the mpicc compiler and by his C code calling
other code. Now he needs to put in the glue code so that his
blahblah.so acts like a Python module that defines a python function.
 He (inter alia) needs to read http://docs.python.org/ext/ext.html --
starting at the beginning, not at the section that addresses the init
function.

HTH,
