Thanks for your answer Mark

(I know I'm not very good at Python, I use it only since a few days :)

actually, it's rather

@staticmethod
def addToList(elt):

that I wanted to do, that is, access a  *static* attribute

what would you think about caching the already-loaded module list, and
allowing them to register a callback?
That's for instance what is done in `linux-thread-db.c` to detect the
loading of the libpthread.so, and that's pretty much what I would like
to do.

(I mean, if you guys feel like it's an interesting feature but no one
fancies doing it, I could give it a try)

will do, thanks
