Description of problem:
If you write a "complex" Python plugin for nbdkit it will not load shared libraries properly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nbdkit v1.1.9


How reproducible:
Just try and run a Python script that requires a shared library.


Additional info:

This can be fixed by changing the flags used in the dlopen call from RTLD_LOCAL to RTLD_GLOBAL
