Import error: symbol not found in flat namespace

[JohnCarruth]

I am trying to build a python extension for the Microsoft SealPIR library. I am following an example that creates a python extension for the Microsoft SEAL library. The SealPIR library uses classes etc from SEAL. I am able to create the extensions for SEAL following the example no problem. I am able to add in classes from SealPIR to the extension that do no import from SEAL as well. I can build the extension for SealPIR when I import classes from SEAL, but when I go to import the module into python I get: Import Error: symbol not found in flat namespace. I think it has to do with linking. I am using a 'setup.py' file to generate the extensions. Any help would be appreciated! I can provide more info as needed.
