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).

Ok, maybe more appropriately, what do people think of adding a PyType_GetModule (PyTypeObject *) which basically functions like type_module(PyTypeObject *, void *) (in Objects/typeobject.c) to the public C API, rather than having to dig around in the object themselves?
