Now the bootloader is trying several names of python DLL at runtime.

However this could be implemented using metadata, where during the build process name of python library would be written as metadata to exe file and then read at runtime without trying several names of python library.

This would:

  • eliminate code duplication in build.py and bootloader code
  • maybe we could get small performance improvement

Bootloader is able to save some metadata in something called cookie.
