load_library currently assumes that library names don't have a prefix. We
might want to rethink this assumption on Linux and other Unixes.
load_library's second argument is a filename or a directory name. If it's a
directory, load_library looks for hello.<platformspecificextension> in that
directory. If it's a filename, load_library calls os.path.dirname to get a
directory. The idea with this is that in a module you'll probably have one
file that loads the library and sets up argtypes and restypes and here
you'll do (in mylib.py):
_mylib = numpy.ctypeslib.load_library('mylib_', __file__)
and then the library will be installed in the same directory as mylib.py.
Better suggestions for doing all this appreciated. ;-)
Cheers,
Albert
