Hi. I've wrapped a C++ class with Boost.Python and that works great. But, I
am now packaging my application so that it can be distributed. The structure
is basically this:
.../bin/foo.py
.../lib/foo.so
.../lib/bar.py
In foo.py I do the following:
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(sys.path[0]) + '/lib')
and this allows foo.py to import bar. Great.
But, the foo.so cannot be imported. The import only succeeds if I place
foo.so next to foo.py in the bin directory.
I searched through the 2.4.2 documentation on python.org but I can't find
a proper explanation on how the shared library loader works.
Does anyone understand what it going on here?
S.
