If it's using distutils you can use --rpath to setup.py build_ext, see the --help of the build_ext sub-command.I forgot to say but I also tried with the rpath but library load of Python does not seems to follow it. Since I am also the packager of Scilab, I could also move the library into /usr/lib but since Scilab has many libraries, I was hoping to store them separately but if there is no other way, I could do that...
Or you could just try building libraries in /usr/lib/scilab with rpath. Then cdll.LoadLibrary("/usr/lib/scilab/libscilab.so") should work as intended.
