6580	problem with OpenMP > 1.3I and boost-mpi-python	anonymous	Douglas Gregor	"when installing with bjam and using openmpi for MPI, the bjam generated mpi.so can not be loaded from within python.

the packagers for ubuntu solve this problem by putting 

mpi.so 
within a subdirectory 
boost

so something like
my_boost/lib/boost/mpi.so

together with a __init__.py file that contains:

import sys
if sys.platform == 'linux2':
    import DLFCN as dl
    flags = sys.getdlopenflags()
    sys.setdlopenflags(dl.RTLD_NOW|dl.RTLD_GLOBAL)
    import mpi
    sys.setdlopenflags(flags)
else:
    import mpi

this way the mpi library can be imported as

import boost.mpi

this will open the __init__.py and ensure that the lib can be correctly loaded

without this the lib should be imported as
import mpi

which fails with openmpi
