- name: extmodules
- description: Comma-separated list of third-party builtin modules
- command-line: –ext
- option type: string option

You can pass a comma-separated list of third-party builtin modules which should be translated along with the standard modules within `pypy.module`.

The module names need to be fully qualified (i.e. have a `.` in them), be on the `$PYTHONPATH` and not conflict with any existing ones, e.g. `mypkg.somemod`.

Once translated, the module will be accessible with a simple:

    import somemod
