Again, thanks to some other posts, I think I've found a reasonable, if not
elegant, solution to the dlopen() issue with python and openmpi. Here is what
I'm doing. First I make a python binding to the following function in module
mpi_dl.py:
void mpi_dlopen()
{
void *handle;
handle = dlopen("libmpi.so", RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_GLOBAL);
dlclose(handle);
}
I compile this into a python file called openmpi.py that has the binding and
the python call, ie.:
import _mpi_dlopen
# ... stuff for binding mpi_dlopen function
mpi_dlopen()
Then, in my python scripts (where I will load my other bindings, I do the
following):
import openmpi
import my_other_modules
# .... go forth and conquer
Actually, I include these lines at the very beginning of my my_other_modules so
that users don't have to put this ugly code in their python scripts. In other
words, I'm doing what I was doing using python's dl package, but this is
cross-platform (I hope).

I'm usually the guy who answers dynamic linker questions in the OMPI
community.
Be aware that I'm on vacation this week and am only replying to you
under great personal risk to my person (if my wife catches me on work
mail, I'm hosed!! ;-) ).
Hopefully, you can wait for a rely until next week, when I return and
dig out from the 6M+ emails that will surely have accrued while I was
gone...
