Yes. And YOU were the one who installed a new root Python. This is a feature. You have the power to update Python on your system. You managed to make a build of Python that attempts to link to a DLL using a relative path. That's a fault of the build that means it won't work as root. I don't understand the confusion here; isn't the solution here to build a new version with an absolute path, and update your installation?
