I don't want to disturb your proposal but I want to say my humble opinion. Python case, there is one implementation and it's use /usr/lib/pyhon default. So, it's not problem. But in Java case, there are a lot of non-opensource implementation and they don't use /usr/lib/jni default. So, users must set library path manually and some of them may confuse about it. But if put JNI libraries into /usr/lib, it's easy. Takashi Okamoto
