# To link the extension with the C library, distutils passes the "-lLIBRARY"
# option to the linker. This makes it go through its library search path. If it
# finds a shared object of the specified library in one of the system-wide
# library paths, it will dynamically link it.
#
# We want the linker to statically link the version of hiredis that is included
# with hiredis-py. However, the linker may pick up the shared library version
# of hiredis, if it is available through one of the system-wide library paths.
# To prevent this from happening, we use an obfuscated library name such that
# the only version the linker will be able to find is the right version.
#
# This is a terrible hack, but patching distutils to do the right thing for all
# supported Python versions is worse...
