I'll try removing the versioning to see if that does the trick,but that would be odd...if I remove the libpython.3.4m.so.1 from /lib, I can't even run python

bld/python/Python-3.4.2 $ rm /lib/libpython3.4m.so*
/bld/python/Python-3.4.2 $ python3
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libpython3.4m.so.1.0" needed by "python3"; caused by library "libpython3.4m.so.1.0" not found

It's just the time module that doesn't find the library.
