This code works from Python:

import clr
clr.AddReference("abc.dll")
from ABC import abc

But when compiled with Cython --embed, it fails:

cython test.py --embed
call vcvarsallbat x64
cl test.c /I C:\Python38\include /link C:\Python38\libs\python38.lib
test.exe

with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 3, in init test
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ABC'

Is this related to #941?

Is there a temporary or permanent fix for this?
Thanks!

A good idea would be to have an import function that can be called on clr namespace:

import clr
clr.AddReference("abc.dll")
ABC = clr.ImportModule('ABC')

that would not need to use the overridden import built-in function.
