> "static" anything in C is completely irrelevant to how symbols are looked up and resolved between modules That is not true. On ELF/Mach-O the "static" storage-class specifier in C will prevent a symbol from being added to the dynamic symbol table, which will make it unavailable for use across modules. > I wasn't aware the C standard covered dynamic symbol resolution? Well the Python docs invoke the C standard to justify the behavior of DLL symbol resolution on Windows, using incorrect arguments about what the standard says: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/typeobj.html#c.PyTypeObject.tp_base Fixing those docs would be a good first step.
