+# ConsoleSetLibPath.py
+#   Initialization script for cx_Freeze which manipulates the path so that the
+# directory in which the executable is found is searched for extensions but
+# no other directory is searched. The environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
+# manipulated first, however, to ensure that shared libraries found in the
+# target directory are found. This requires a restart of the executable because
+# the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is only checked at startup.
