Actually, thinking about it, there might be a point to specifying RTLD_GLOBAL. Which makes me wonder: why isn’t it the default? As for errno, that’s an egregious piece of POSIX brain damage. You’ll notice that just about nothing else uses it, apart from (the various implementations of) libc, which have to. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
