Hi,

I compiled a CPython 2.7.2 with the --enable-shared option. As a consequence, some libpython.so.* are generated in $PYTHONHOME/lib

Would it be possible to add symlinks to these libraries in $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib when creating the virtualenv ? It would be less confusing to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH on this folder than on the $PYTHONHOME/lib one when installing some packages including C (such as netifaces) ?

Thanks!
