I don't know much about library loading, but from what I understand at 
https://github.com/Toblerity/rtree/issues/56 , if they hardcode 
"libspatialindex_c.so" in CDLL call, then it breaks in OSX, because its uses 
.dylib extension. And they don't want to reimplement find_library to choose the 
right extension for each platform.
