Improve lib loading #2

Closed christianpaquin closed 5 years ago

christianpaquin commented 5 years ago

Improve library loading in the wrapper, following @truth-quark's review suggestion: "several platform specific default paths could be hard coded & checked. Failing that, I'd check for an environment variable & exit neatly if nothing exists"

For reference, ctypes has funcs for finding shared objs: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/ctypes.html?highlight=ctype#finding-shared-libraries Specifically: ctypes.util.find_library(name)
