I haven't used dlcompat but people have reported success using it with 
Python. But I don't known whether mixing dlcompat and dyld is a good 
idea, so you may have to build a special Python that uses dynload_dl 
with dlcompat in stead of dynload_next.

Another but: if I look at the readme for your test code I get the 
impression that the gcc that OSX has (2.92.2) may be a problem. gcc 3 is 
going to be supported in the next major release (late summer, according 
to apple).
