There is the issue of installing the shared library at the proper location as well IIRC?

As Carl implies, the standard numpy installers do static linking to the BLAS lib, so we haven't (as far as I know) got a proper location for the shared library.

Maybe it could be part of the API though, like "np.get_include()" but numpy "np.get_blas_lib()"? Where this can often be None.

The proper location would be in numpy/core/, since _dotblas.pyd is the first occurence of a blas dependant extension during numpy import. Otherwise some kind of preloading is necessary. Carl
