+Subject: [PATCH] Python3 scripting: Don't call RegisterAllPyModules from
+ imported modules
+
+This calls PyImport_AppendInittab. The behaviour has changed between
+Python 2 and 3. In 3, you cannot call this function anymore after
+Py_Initialize has been called. Meaning since the module has already
+been imported, Py_Initialize must have already been called before.
+
+This change means that FFPY_PYTHON_ENTRY_FUNCTION will now be called
+more than once (once for each module imported) on Python 3, so ensure
+that the initialisation code only runs once.
+
+Fixes #2886. See also #1731.
