  Extension module authors should exercise caution when initializing
  internal data structures.
+ Note also that the \function{reload()} function can be used with
+ extension modules, and will call the module initialization function
+ (\cfunction{initspam()} in the example), but will not load the module
+ again if it was loaded from a dynamically loadable object file
+ (\file{.so} on \UNIX, \file{.dll} on Windows).
  
  A more substantial example module is included in the Python source
