In that case, couldn't it be done by placing a copy/symlink to the
shared library in the same directory as the python extension, then
reload()'ing the extension from the already running python process? I
think, but am not certain, so don't hold me to it, that dlopen and
kindred will search the working directory for a library before falling
back to the cache or LD_LIBRARY_PATH and so on. Worth a shot mabye.
