Hello Nick,

It looks overkill, when you can do instead: PyObject* modulename = PyObjectGetAttrString(type, "module");

That only works most of the time, I think. To be honest, I didn't try that, but it doesn't seem that type_module would jump through the hoops it does if that worked all of the time, unless parsing tp_name is legacy code.
