New submission from Guillaume Desforges <[email protected]>:
## Description Libraries such as oscrypto will use `ctypes.utils.find_library` to look for libraries, which in turns uses ``. However, on Linux, if the system does not have the objdump command, the function fails silently. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/0bf0500baa4cbdd6c5668461c2a2a008121772be/Lib/ctypes/util.py#L177 ## Expected behavior It should either raise an Exception saying that objdump is missing, or outputting a helpful message. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 394565 nosy: GuillaumeDesforges priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ctypes '_get_soname' fails silently on missing objdump type: behavior versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44251> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
