Comment(by brushtyler):

 Replying to [comment:2 strk]:
 > postgis and pgraster libs already have their initialization code that
 could install those routines too...

 are you talking about the rt_init_allocators function?
 That one is called when the raster lib tries to allocate something, so I
 suppose is not the right place to call the "lwgeom_set_handlers" function
 because we don't know if lwgeom needs to allocate something before the
 rt_init_allocators is called.

 BTW, I found that the RTLD_LAZY mode can be used to avoid it raises an
 error, though python ctypes doesn't export that name... I should use
 "mode=1" opening the library.

 > Feel like working on a patch ?

 Yes, but I've to understand what should be changed. Surely I must add a
 lwgeom_set_handlers function.
