As you found out: no, this isn't supported.

To work around, you can wrap the extension module with Python module
which invokes an explicit module initialization function; you then need
to lookup the subclasses dynamically (going through
thread_state->interp->modules).

I'd like to see the module initialization/finalization be redone for
Python 3, in particular with explicit finalization procedures. If
Python 3 still supports multiple interpreters, this aspect should be
taken into account. Whether there is any chance to add the PEP to 2.x,
I don't know - it needs to be written first.
