DLLs can have an embedded manifest. To solve the DLL Hell problem,
Windows introduced side-by-side assemblies (WinSxS):

Thank you! I am getting a whole lot wiser wrt Linux. I checked 'man ld' and
'man ldconfig'.
Especially the ld command is pretty extensive. The Rpath/Runpath solution seems
nice in that
no wrapper is needed (contrary to when one uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

Modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH only affects child processes (ld.so caches

No.
But there is putenv() in the os module.
But how well it works across OS I'm not sure.

Hello,
Is there a builtin function that can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalents
platform-independently? It would be nice use such a function in a setup script.
The code below illustrates what I mean, although it's entirely untested.
import sys
import os
def setPath(loc):
"""Set LD_LIBRARY_PA
