No.

py> "pg" in sys.modules.keys()
False


But then there's this:


py> import pgmodule
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initpgmodule)
py> import pg
py> import pgmodule
py> pg.__file__ == pgmodule.__file__
True
