Why no libpython2.x.so in redhat?

that call is import_array(), and it usually goes in the module
initialization mfunction, after Py_InitModule(). I'm not sure where it
would go in your example. Oddly, in some cases, the code will work
without that call. A while ago I wrote a couple of modules without that
call, and they worked fine on RedHat Linux, but then crashed when I
tried to use them on a macintosh. Add import_array() fixed it. Perhaps
something different about how Debian and RedHat link causes the difference.
