ImportError: dlopen: cannot load any more object with static TLS

Trying to use too many libraries in the same python notebook/kernel seems to cause problems The simplist reproducible case is below https://www.kaggle.com/kmader/library-overload

basically in any new kernel, loading tensorflow will fail if too many other libraries are loaded before

import numpy as np
import SimpleITK as sitk
import cv2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import tensorflow as tf

A real notebook showing the problem is here (also justifying why all the different libraries were needed) https://www.kaggle.com/kmader/x-ray-patient-scan-registration

Seems to have come up before with cv2 and torch (https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/2083) and tensorflow models (https://github.com/tensorflow/models/issues/523)

Thanks @kmader

If you import Tensorflow before any other libraries, does it resolve the issue?

[kmader]

yes, both notebooks are now working well, it is a very strange error though
