Michael Felt added the comment: Further testing...
I added an extremely simple hack in util.py so that a archive (AIX library) name got returned. Also in this case - the print cdll.LoadLibrary("libc.a") fails. +74 if os.name == "posix" and sys.platform == "darwin": +75 from ctypes.macholib.dyld import dyld_find as _dyld_find +76 def find_library(name): +77 possible = ['lib%s.dylib' % name, +78 '%s.dylib' % name, +79 '%s.framework/%s' % (name, name)] +80 for name in possible: +81 try: +82 return _dyld_find(name) +83 except ValueError: +84 continue +85 return None +86 +87 if os.name == "posix" and sys.platform.startswith("aix"): +88 def find_library(name): +89 expr = "lib" + name + ".a" +90 return expr +91 +92 elif os.name == "posix": +93 # Andreas Degert's find functions, using gcc, /sbin/ldconfig, objdump +94 import re, tempfile, errno +95 +96 def _findLib_gcc(name): +275 else: +276 print cdll.LoadLibrary("libc.a") +277 print cdll.LoadLibrary("libm.so") +278 print cdll.LoadLibrary("libcrypt.so") root@x064:[/tmp]python -m ctypes.util libm.a libc.a libbz2.a Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "/opt/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code exec code in run_globals File "/opt/lib/python2.7/ctypes/util.py", line 282, in <module> test() File "/opt/lib/python2.7/ctypes/util.py", line 276, in test print cdll.LoadLibrary("libc.a") File "/opt/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 443, in LoadLibrary return self._dlltype(name) File "/opt/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 365, in __init__ self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) OSError: 0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/lib/libc.a. 0509-103 The module has an invalid magic number. So, what needs to be returned so that cdll.LoadLibrary could use that result? (e.g., I know that the default libm.a has no shared members on AIX 5.3 TL7 - but libc.a does (shr.o and more, but not all!). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26439> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
