-What does "SystemError: _PyImport_FixupExtension: module yourmodule not loaded" mean?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This means that you have created an extension module named "yourmodule", but
-your module init function does not initialize with that name.

-If the string passed to this function is not the same name as your extension
-module, the :exc:`SystemError` exception will be raised.
