python - How to compile a py file to .so for Autodesk Maya OSX

Question

I need to convert a python file to .so (OSX), and run this module with Autodesk Maya 2020. I did this using Cython,I converted the .py file successfully, but when I imported the module to Maya Maya's Python dont recognize the module's functions.

I Dont know much about Cython and what type of information I needed to take into account to compile it.

Maya Python: Python 2.7.15 (v2.7.15:ca079a3ea3, Apr 29 2018, 20:59:26)[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin

Current Python: Python 2.7.16 (default, Jan 26 2020, 23:50:38) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.31)] on darwin

Cython Files: compile.py:

from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
ext_modules = [
   Extension("test",  ["test.py"])]
setup(
   name = 'test',
   cmdclass = {'build_ext': build_ext},
   ext_modules = ext_modules
)

test.py

import pymel.core as pm
def do():
   mesh=pm.ls(typ= "mesh")
   print mesh
   return mesh

main.py

import test
test.do()

Bash Command :

python compile.py build_ext --inplace

I get the .so file but when I try to import main.py inside Maya, the function do() is not found,

Any ideas? Thanks in advance :)
