On Unix, this is a runtime option via sys.setdlopenflags (RTLDGLOBAL turns on import into application namespace). Do you think you could emulate this API? Shouldn't be a problem. I had never heard of sys.setdlopenflags(), otherwise I would have done so already.

Hmm. I had a look at the setdlopenflags() and accompanying infrastructure, and it seems you can set many flags to dlopen() through this call, is that right?

If it is, is it a good idea to call the OSX-specific routine setdlopenflags() too, even though it will only support the "use global namespace" flag? Or is that the only flag you can reasonably pass to dlopen() anyway?
