And it turned out that I could go one of two ways: either use 
your undocumented method or add support for 
sys.setdlopenflags(). And while I think setdlopenflags() is a 
gross hack, it is a hack that is apparently already 
well-established, so I think I prefer it over the "borrowed" 
function (which also uses an undocumented API, right? Which 
means it could stop working at any moment...)
