Imported juliacall.newmodule() namespace not updated

[charstnut]

It seems that in python, using command juliacall.newmodule() does not update the python namespace after importing a new module in julia.

MWE:

>>> import juliacall; pkg = juliacall.newmodule("Pkg")
Querying Julia versions from https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json
Found Julia 1.7.1 at 'julia'
>>> pkg.status()  #Pkg.status() should work
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/char/repo/PythonCall.jl/src/jlwrap/any.jl:167", line 18, in __getattr__
AttributeError: Julia: UndefVarError: status not defined
>>> pkg
<jl Main.Pkg>
>>>

Proposed temporary workaround is to just use Main.seval() for now, but as noted in documentation it would be great to have the ability to call functions directly from imported julia modules.

newmodule creates a new module with the given name, unrelated to any other module with that name. It's similar to doing module Pkg; end in the Julia REPL.

The current recommended way to import a module is to use seval.
