ctype question

[Amit Gupta]

Hi,

I have been using ctype.cdll to load a library, but I am unable to
figure out how to load multiple libraries that depends on each other.
E.g. I have two libraries A.so and B.so. A.so has some undefined
references, and those symbols are defined in B.so.

When I try to load ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary("A.so"), it gives errors
about the undefined Symbols. Even if I load B.so before loading A.so,
the error remains the same (which is expected). Can someone help me to
find out, how to load A.so by telling it to look for undefined symbols
in B.so as well?

Thanks, Amit

You could try to pass ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL as the 'mode' parameter to
ctypes.CDLL when you load the library.
