Martin Panter added the comment: I tend to agree with the comment at <https://bugs.python.org/issue2936#msg67505>. Find_library() is documented as emulating a build-time linker, not run-time. Build-time linking ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Maybe it would make more sense to pass in an optional list of -L directories to search, but it really depends on what the use cases are. Pau: What is wrong with the more direct CDLL("libspatialindex_c.so") proposal that bypasses find_library()? ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9998> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
