check the modules dictionary if there's one there, and if not, create
a new one and insert in in the modules dictionary. Because the former
action is most common, this does not return a new reference, and you
-do not own the returned reference. Return \NULL{} with an
+do not own the returned reference.
+Warning: this function does not load or import the module; if the
+module wasn't already loaded, you will get an empty module object.
+Use \cfunction{PyImport_ImportModule()} or one of its variants to
+import a module.
+Return \NULL{} with an
exception set on failure. \strong{Note:} this function returns
a ``borrowed'' reference.
