In my humble opinion there should be an option for linking against

As the framework library is the only thing I test against, I would
prefer having the option to only use this library. I have been
burned too many times by customers having an incorrect library in
their path so I have come to respect the “link to this library or
don’t run approach”.
Except that it's not the right way to link python (or any program's)
extensions.
A better approach (I think), if you're worried, is to check that the
version of python that you need is running before importing stuff.
This way you can gracefully quit with a helpful message to the user.
If you rely on the system linker not finding the library, the user
gets a crash with a cryptic (to many) message about something not
being found. Or sometimes not even that (some people may turn off
crash report messages).
