Why should PyImport_AppendInittab() be called before Py_Initialize()?
<p>According to <a href="http://docs.python.org/c-api/import.html?highlight=pyimport_appendinittab#PyImport_AppendInittab" rel="nofollow">the Documentation</a>, PyImport_AppendInittab "should be called before Py_Initialize()."</p>

<p>There is no explanation of why this is the case, and ignoring this advice yields a working application. So, since this is working, under what circumstances will it not work?</p>

<p>Kind regards,
Daniel</p>
