It would be, except there's a fairly critical problem: GDAL links
(directly, and via proj, etc) to libcurl which links to OpenSSL on Linux.
But Python/libpython links to OpenSSL too. The same issue applies with
SQLite too, except that it's structured to support existing multiple times
in a process. And you'll also encounter it with libpq & psycopg too if you
need PostgreSQL access from Python, since libpq links to OpenSSL as well.
Other DB libraries have the same problem.

Minefield!
