In fact you really need to look them up dynamically (e.g. if you want to distribute binaries). What do you think about this approach (which is basically the technique I wrote about here [1]). Would I be able doable with the current stub generation ?

1) Lookup function pointer with Dl.dlsym. which results in an otptional fun ptr.
2) Generate stub that has a fun ptr as a first argument, in the stub if fun ptr is None, raise, otherwise invoke.  

Best,

Daniel
