It would be nice to have a test verifying that the C++ extension module is used when requested. I think we should be able to use unittest.mock to do this. We would create a mock for the extension functions and then check that they were called when expected. They wouldn't have to actually do anything - and in fact I think we wouldn't even need the extension installed - but we'd only want to check that they were accessed appropriately.
