That's exactly what you should expect.  That .so file can be loaded by
Python as an extension.  You just need to put it somewhere (/usr/lib/
pythonX.Y/site-packages is a likely place) that Python can find it at
run time.  You can also set the $PYTHONPATH environment variable to
extend Python's module search path.
