'import dl' on AMD64 platform

[John Pye]

Hi all

I have a tricky situation that's preventing my Python/SWIG/C
application from running on the Debian Etch AMD64 platform.

It seems that the 'dl' module is not available on that platform. The
only reason I need the 'dl' module, however, is for the values of
RTLD_LAZY etc, which I use with sys.setdlopenflags() in order to make
my imported SWIG module share its symbols correctly with more deeply-
nested plugin modiles in my C-code layer.

I wonder if there is a workaround for this -- perhaps another way to
access the values of those RTLD flags?

Cheers
JP
