Hi there,

I cannot figure out where did the 'dl' module went when running
python on AMD64 (debian stable).

According to the documentation, I have :


python
>>> import sys
>>> help(sys.setdlopenflags)

....
setdlopenflags(...)
<snip>
sys.setdlopenflags(dl.RTLD_NOW|dl.RTLD_GLOBAL)
....

But when -as suggested by the doc- to load dl, I am getting:

>>> import dl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named dl

dl module is extremely important since I need to load shared lib with
RTLD_GLOBAL (and not RTLD_LOCAL)
