I use it on SunOS 4.1.3, and we load either object modules (suffix
"module.so") or source modules (suffix ".py") pretty much the same way.
The Python interpreter searches the directories specified in PYTHONPATH
till it finds a module with either of these suffixes, then loads it
appropriately, searches for the initialization function (forming its
name by mangling the module name appropriately), and calls it. Works
fine, and I never have to recompile the interpreter.
Seems to me this approach to dynamic loading should work on any SVR4 Unix...
