Here’s the relevant source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/8dd2766d99f8f51ad62dc...

I believe you should just be able to replace the library name with an absolute path to the library, and remove the need for the lookup at all?

Right, but that would take some really deep patching of code I don't control, just so it works in development.

If this were a production issue, I would probably fork the driver and do what you're suggesting (it's not like it's actively maintained or something :|).

Why not fork it? If only to have the code under your control in case it abruptly becomes inaccessible.

Then the fix is a single if statement. Seems worth it to me.
