Issue 41976 added ctypes.util._is_elf() to filter out linker scripts such as "libc.so". The PR was backported to 3.7. _is_elf() assumes the trace result has absolute paths that can be opened, but Matthias is getting the relative filename "liblibc.a" in the result. Whatever the reason, I think if the file can't be opened for reading, then _is_elf() should just return False. For example: def _is_elf(filename): "Return True if the given file is an ELF file" elf_header = b'\x7fELF' try: with open(filename, 'br') as thefile: return thefile.read(4) == elf_header except OSError: return False ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
