[Distutils] Method for calculating .so file names

[Randy Syring]

As a follow-up to my earlier question, is there a way to pragmatically 
determine the naming scheme of installed shared object files?  I've seen 
a couple different naming formats:

> # python 2.7.6 - default ubuntu version
> $ ls /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_dbus_*
> /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_dbus_bindings.so
> /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_dbus_glib_bindings.so
>
> # python 3.4.0 - default ubuntu version
> $ ls /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_dbus_*
> /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_dbus_bindings.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
> /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_dbus_glib_bindings.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
>
> # python 3.4.3 - manual install on ubuntu
> $ ls /opt/python34/lib/python3.4/site-packages/_dbus_*
> /opt/python34/lib/python3.4/site-packages/_dbus_bindings.so
> /opt/python34/lib/python3.4/site-packages/_dbus_glib_bindings.so

I can piece together the file structure for 3.4.0 from information in 
sysconfig, but I'm wondering if there is a better way.

Thanks.
