Sorry, I never really know how much information in enough, and when
it's just complicating the issue. That obviously wasn't, and didn't
even get to the root of the problem:
The target system is mipsel-linux, specifically Sony's OPEN-R platform
running on a Sony ERS-7 Aibo robotic dog. I have recompiled passing
-export-dynamic, but I realized this is not the issue. Here is the
output of the import attempt from within the module imported by

I saw that the import did not look for .so files. I verified this by
checking imp.get_suffixes():
import imp # builtin
[('.py', 'U', 1), ('.pyc', 'rb', 2)] #<-- result of `print
imp.get_suffixes()`
I realize that this should include a ('.so','rb',3) entry (should it
not? 3->imp.C_EXTENSION) if it were going to locate the c extension.
Thus, my revised question would be what sets the suffixes for import?
How do/Can I change this?
The interpreter is linked in from a library compiled from edited Python
2.3 source so that it will run on the OPEN-R system (strips things like
time, socket, etc., which are not supported).
Thanks again,
Jeremy
