How can I load a module (written in C as a shared
library (.so)) through "PyRun_SimpleString"?

I've tried "from <module> import *", but a got a
message: ImportError: No module named <module>

Thanks in advance.

You can't do this. You have to either wrap the module - which is possible in
several ways, including hand-written code, pyrex, swig and sip. Maybe even
more, I don't know.

Or you access it using the module ctypes that allows to invoke arbitrary
methods/funtctions of C-libs. google for it.
