Yeah, I should have done my homework. What I missed was that if you use a proper Python SO ABI extension for the module, so call it modulename.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so then Python *will* pick it up on 'import modulename'. I had previously tried modulename.x86_64-linux-gnu.so or something along those lines, and that does not work. I wasn't aware of PEP 3149. Thanks to both, it's solved now. Cheers, Kasper
