Is there any way to (reliably) find the module that defined the class represented by a given PyTypeObject in C?

Not especially appropriate for python-dev...

I think the answer depends on what you mean by "reliably". module is a good first bet, but can be defeated with sufficient malice (or mere inattention, in the case of types defined by C).
