[Python] package python module with pybind11 extension that depends on shared libraries

I'm using pybind11 to create cross platform bindings to the c++ library named piper-phonemize. The library depends on 2 native libraries - onnxruntime and espeak-ng. There's cmake file which produce the needed shared libraries. However, I cannot find a simple way to include these shared libraries in Windows/Linux/macOS.

I use pyproject.toml and setup.py

I would like to place the native pybind11 extension along with the shared libraries in the package folder. Is there a simple way to include them in a way that the extension will be able to load them once I import the extension?

Thanks
