you'd call "cython" on a package and it would output a
directory with a single __init__.so that contains the modules compiled
from all .pyx/.py files in that package. Importing the package would
then trigger an import of that __init__.so, which in turn will execute
code in its init__init__() function to register the other modules.
I don't think it even has to be a directory with an __init__,
it could just be an ordinary .so file with the name of the
package.
I just tried an experiment in Python:
# onefilepackage.py
import new, sys
blarg = new.module("blarg")
blarg.thing = "This is the thing"
sys.modules["onefilepackage.blarg"] = blarg
and two different ways of importing it:
>>> from onefilepackage import blarg
>>> blarg
<module 'blarg' (built-in)>
>>> blarg.thing
'This is the thing'
>>> import onefilepackage.blarg
>>> onefilepackage.blarg.thing
'This is the thing'
So assuming the same thing works with a .so instead of a .py,
all you need to do is emit a .so whose init function stuffs
appropriate entries into sys.modules to make it look like
a package.
