Thanks, but then it's difficult to use CDLL. Setting os.environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] within the script which calls CDLL is too late. What other methods are possible rather than put an explicit export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=... before running the script, if I don't want to put the dynamic library into a standard system library.
