 Insert the above code just above the :cfunc:`main` function. Also, insert the
 following two statements directly after :cfunc:`Py_Initialize`::
 
    numargs = argc;
-   Py_InitModule("emb", EmbMethods);
+   PyModule_Create(&EmbModule);
 
 These two lines initialize the ``numargs`` variable, and make the
 :func:`emb.numargs` function accessible to the embedded Python interpreter.
