Obviously something is wrong with dynamic loading of libraries and I just
have a feeling that it could be related to a similar bug in your system 
Python that we saw months ago for Debian Python. Details can be found in

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=521854&group_id=5470&atid=105470
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=135461&archive=yes&repeatmerged=yes

To check this, get the test code

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=5470&atid=105470&file_id=18294&aid=521854

unpack it, and run

  python runme.py

What is the output? If you see that var=1 at some point then it is a
bug of your system Python.
