Hello,
Is there a builtin function that can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalents
platform-independently? It would be nice use such a function in a setup script.
The code below illustrates what I mean, although it's entirely untested.
import sys
import os
def setPath(loc):
"""Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and equivalents platform-independently"""
p = {"win": "PATH",
"lin": "LD_LIBRARY_PATH",
"solaris": "LD_LIBRARY_PATH",
"aix": "LIBPATH",
"darwin":
"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH",
"hpux": "SHLIB_PATH"}
pf = sys.platform()
sep = ";" if pf.startswith("win") else ":"
try:
os.environ[p[pf]] += (sep + loc)
except KeyError:
print "Platform %s not supported" % pf
Regards,
Albert-Jan
