Message 309968 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

From experience with doing something similar in egenix-pyopenssl, I recommend putting the DLLs into the same directory as the PYD file on Windows. If you want to be extra safe, you can explicitly load the DLL, but normally this is not needed.

On Linux and other OSes, it's best to dlopen() to explicitly load the lib, since rpath and OS search paths are not always reliable.
