It is a platform bug, RTLD_LOCAL doesn't work on 10.3. The following C snippet fails with the same error as ctypes: FAIL: dlcompat: unable to open this file with RTLD_LOCAL. This seems to be confirmed by this sourcet test file from darwin: http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/ 10.4.1/dyld-43/unit-tests/test-cases/dlopen-RTLD_LOCAL/main.c. /* Begin of file */ #include <dlfcn.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { void* lib; lib = dlopen("/usr/lib/libz.dylib", RTLD_LOCAL); if (lib == NULL) { printf("FAIL: %s\n", dlerror()); } else { printf("OK\n"); } return 0; } /* End of file */ > > Ronald > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ > ronaldoussoren%40mac.com _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
