I don't know much about OS X conventions. But, SWIG creates Python extension modules as follows:

Python module name such as "csnd" becomes dynamic module such as "_csnd" (by convention, the Python module name is prefixed with "_" to become the shared library name).

The dynamic module shared library exports a "C" function such as "init_csnd". When you "import csnd" in Python, the Python interpreter loads "_csnd.dll" or "_csnd.so" (or "_csnd.dylib" on OS X? What about forks?), and calls "init_csnd" which creates Python code to use the module.

Hope this helps,
Mike

What is the right name for a python dynamic module? For instance,
if I say

import thisone

the python interpreter will look for what?

thisone.py?
thisone.pyc?
thisone.dylib or thisone.so or thisone.dll?
