So I think that the adoption of our half-solution (ie, we are really = only forcing a better error message - not even getting a traceback to = indicate which module fails)

note that the module name is available to the Py_InitModule4 module (for obvious reasons ;-), so it's not that difficult to improve the error message.

how about:

...

static char not_initialized_error[] =3D "ERROR: Module %.200s loaded an uninitialized interpreter!\n
This Python has API version %d, module %.200s has version %d.\n";

...

if (!Py_IsInitialized()) {
    char message[500];
    sprintf(message, not_initialized_error, name, =

PYTHON_API_VERSION, name, module_api_version) Py_FatalError(message); }
