PythonPath manager doesn't seem to work on MacOS?

[Andrew Voelkel]

Hello,

I've got a program I'm testing that relies on a dylib. If I put that dylib in the working folder, everything works fine. However if I try to leave it in its proper location and add that path to PYTHONPATH using the PYTHONPATH manager, it can't find the library:

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/andy/Dropbox (Personal)/Developer/boost_1_70_0/libs/python/example/tutorial/hello_ext.so, 2): Library not loaded: libboost_python37.dylib

  Referenced from: /Users/andy/Dropbox (Personal)/Developer/boost_1_70_0/libs/python/example/tutorial/hello_ext.so

  Reason: image not found

In the description above, the "working folder" is the one containing hello_ext.so, the one listed. If libboost_python37.dylib is copied to that folder, it will work. The "proper location" is the lib folder within the Boost install folder

Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
