There was quite a long conversation [on python-dev] a while back (geez, a year ago? more?) about RTLD_GLOBAL and whether Python should use it. There were pros and cons for both directions, and I believe some compatibility issues. You may be able to find the conversation, then figure out why Python chose its current mechanism. Heck... maybe it should change :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
