I have an application where it would be useful to set RTLD_GLOBAL on dlopen when import is used. Currently, python doesn't provide this option. Why not allow an optional argument to import that would allow this?

I take it you'd be interested to learn about sys.setdlopenflags?

Could be. But I checked the current cvs python source, and what I see is dlopen is called with flags set to 0. What am I missing?

I don't know. That's not what I see in current CVS... the dlopen call I'm on about is line 130 of Python/dynload_shlib.c. (I notice that sys.setdlopenflags is present on Darwin, where it isn't going to make much difference...). Cheers, mwh -- 39.
