I'm confused here.  The only extension code that defines set_bg is the
_image module

johnh@jitter:src> grep set_bg *.h
_image.h:  Py::Object set_bg(const Py::Tuple& args);
_image.h:  static char set_bg__doc__[];

I don't see why you should be having a problem with this.  Can you
submit a complete traceback?

This shouldn't pose a problem as long as there isn't a global
variable, right?  My understanding is that the ft2font problem arises
because of the use of the global FT_Library _ft2Library .
