            Bug ID: 378927
           Summary: pykde4 shouldn't permanently change dlopenflags Python
                    environment setting
           Product: bindings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: pykde
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

Hi!
This is concerning pykde4 version 4.14.3 (can't be picked in the Version menu).

Python libraries shouldn't be permanently changing environment settings, it can
cause undefined problematic behaviour and crashes of other components, e.g. a
[pydoc] crash.

[pydoc] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1442464

The problem lies in the `__init__.py` pykde4 file which permanently sets
`sys.setdlopenflags(DLFCN.RTLD_NOW|DLFCN.RTLD_GLOBAL)` and never reverses the
setting.

Have a great day!
