+.. c:function:: int PyInitConfig_AddModule(PyInitConfig *config, const char *name, PyObject* (*initfunc)(void))
+
+   Add a built-in extension module to the table of built-in modules.
+
+   The new module can be imported by the name *name*, and uses the function
+   *initfunc* as the initialization function called on the first attempted
+   import.
+
+   * Return ``0`` on success.
+   * Set an error in config and return ``-1`` on error.
+
+   If Python is initialized multiple times, ``PyInitConfig_AddModule()`` must
+   be called at each Python initialization.
+
+   Similar to the :c:func:`PyImport_AppendInittab` function.
