Julian Taylor added the comment:

just to clarify its not any issue in python, python is working fine with .so
The issue is just that theses variables tends to be used by other applications 
to figure out information on the system (like shared library extension, see 
numpy.distutils)
You certainly could argue that these applications are broken by even needing 
this information, but a proper naming of the variables could help reduce 
confusion and wrong code.
