Cython, producing different modules from the same .pyx

[Lele Gaifax]

Hi all,

in my package, I would like to compile and distribute two different extension
modules starting from the same .pyx file, just with different compilation
flags and libraries.

My first approach has been duplicating the Extension() entry in the
setup.py(*), changing the first argument (that is, the name of the module).
Although that did produce the alternative binary module, it could not be
loaded because it contains the wrong PyInit_XXX(), where XXX is computed from
the .pyx name, in my case "parser".

I tried looking at Cython documentation, and even its sources, but couldn't
find a way to alter that name.

Did I miss something, or is the only way to duplicate the source .pyx file to
a different name?

Thanks in advance,
ciao, lele.
