On AIX, building a shared library for use by extension modules and which
uses the Python 'C' API is way harder than it should be**; the best
workaround we could find involves hijacking _PyImport_LoadDynamicModule to
load the shared library and patch up the symbol references.
_PyImportLoadDynamicModule is undocumented, AFAICT. Am I not supposed to
touch it? Is it likely to disappear or change its signature?
On a related note, I wonder about all of the _[A-Z] names in Python. I know
that at least in C++, these names are reserved to the compiler
implementation. I assume the same holds for 'C', and wonder if Python's use
of these names is intentional, on the "to be changed someday" list, or
something else.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
** details to follow in later messages; AIX is nasty but I think Python
could do a few things to help.
