Research direction
Start by examining the attached pytest.tar.gz reproduction and the linked BPO issue discussion, focusing on the RTLD_LOCAL and libpython loading behavior described there. Trace how the affected Python modules are built and loaded, then verify that the reported system-wide failure no longer occurs under the reproduction scenario.
