Question

I have a very basic test script for cython

test1.pyx:

def do_something(f):
    return f

def main():
    f = 1
    print do_something(f)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Which I compile with:

cython test1.pyx
gcc -Wall -O2 -g -lm -shared -pthread -fPIC -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -Iinclude/python2.6 -o test1.so test1.c

And it works:

./bin/python -c "import test1; test1.main()"
1

But calling it directly as a module doesn’t work:

./bin/python -m test1
/mypath/bin/python: No code object available for test1

Why does this not work? How can I get it to work to directly call a cython script?

Cython version 0.12.1
