[Pythonmac-SIG] importing dynamic library on intelMac

[David Worrall]

Hello All, I'm new here... and to dynamic libraries....

I've compiled a 3rd party's dynamic library ,  libXXX.dylib , a Mach- 
O dynamically linked shared library i386
and can't work out where to put it so that I can
 >>> import XXX
is there a special place for such libraries?
I've tried a few things without success. Would someone be kind enough  
to put me on the right path -

[do I need to specifically have a dynamic libraries directory in my  
$PYTHONPATH for eg, and if so where should it be?]
many thanks,

David
