All,
Thanks for info. I've looked at a bunch of different options, but have decided
on the following course. Basically, my first attempt was to use SWIG (we use
swig to assemble our python bindings) to put the following code in all of our
py modules:
%pythoncode %{
import sys, dl
sys.setdlopenflags(sys.getdlopenflags() | dl.RTLD_GLOBAL)
%}
In general, this works. However, for one set of our bindings a module was
being opened before this code was inserted. (Unfortunately, I couldn't figure
out a way to tell SWIG to insert this code at the very top of a .py file). So,
plan B was to use a post-process script. After building the .py file, I use a
script to place the lines
import sys, dl
sys.setdlopenflags(sys.getdlopenflags() | dl.RTLD_GLOBAL)
at the very top of the .py file. The script follows below. In my build
system, I have the following target rules:
module.cc module.py: module.i
$(SWIG) -outdir ${curdir} -o $@ -python -c++ $<
$(SWIGLD) module.py
here SWIGLD is my post-process script included at the end of this email.
Thanks for the help. Hope this information is useful to any who might have
encountered this issue.
Tom
