Comment:

 You could use this as a test.
 {{{
 >>> import numpy as np
 >>> import wx
 >>> np.lookfor('Bell', wx)
 Search results for 'bell'
 -------------------------
 wx.Bell
     Bell()
 wx.CheckBox
     A checkbox is a labelled box which by default is either on (the
 wx.Validator_SetBellOnError

 wx.PyValidator.SetBellOnError

 }}}
 wx is widely used, but big, so the command takes a few seconds on my
 machine.

 without the patch I get:
 {{{
 >>> import numpy as np
 >>> import wx
 >>> np.lookfor('window',wx)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/home/shaase/Priithon_27_lin64/numpy/lib/utils.py", line 748, in

     cache = _lookfor_generate_cache(module, import_modules, regenerate)
   File "/home/shaase/Priithon_27_lin64/numpy/lib/utils.py", line 933, in
 _lookfor_generate_cache
     mod_name = getattr(v, '__module__', None)
 NameError: Unknown C global variable
 }}}
