Question: "load"ing a shared object in python

[Pro Grammer]

Hello, all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but could you kindly 
tell me how to "load" a shared object (like libx.so) into python, so 
that the methods in the .so can be used? That too, given that the shared 
object was written in c++, compiled with g++ ?
Thanks,
Pro Grammer
