Currently, you'd need to put a python interface (.pi) file in either the 
same directory as the .so / .pyd extension module file or in <wing 
install directory>\resources\builtin-pi-files\<python version> directory 
if the module is builtin.  A .pi file contains syntactically valid 
python source that defines the same functions, classes, attributes, etc 
as the extension module does.

We will add the ability to put the .pi files in other directories and 
include .pi files for standard library modules in the future.
