I don't know how to do this with ctypes (which doesn't mean it cannot be
done, just that I haven't ever wanted to do this). What happens if you
make a small file that loads both separately and loads that one first?

It may be that you can get what you want with by loading the first lib
RTLD_LAZY instead of RTLD_NOW.  see:

see: this very old thread, maybe CTypes knows about it now.

But I have never tried.

These days I used cffi instead of ctypes.

If you use cffi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cffi
there should not be any problem if you use ffi.set_source(), 
only once, but mentioning both libs in the libraries=[...] argument.
