You might configure the dynamic loader ('ld.so' ?) to look there by default.
For example, I have an /etc/ld.so.conf config file that I add default
search paths such as /usr/local/lib.

That said, I don't think it's such a great idea to store ordinary DSOs
together in the same directory as python extension modules.
