I've been running M2Crypto successfully using Python 2.4 on Windows 2000,
and now I'm trying to get it to work on Python 2.3.4 on Linux.
Attempting to initialize a context results in
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/www/htdocs/sitetruth.com/cgi/ratingdetails.cgi", line 46, in ?
DetailsPageBuilder.detailspage(kdbfile,ktemplatefile,url) # check and
display domain or URL as web page
File "./sitetruth/DetailsPageBuilder.py", line 70, in detailspage
sitecert = InfoSSL2.Certificate(siteinfo, kverifylocations, verbose)
File "./sitetruth/InfoSSL2.py", line 147, in __init__
self.ctx = createsslcontext(trustedcafile, verbose) # Generate
general SSL
context
File "./sitetruth/InfoSSL2.py", line 40, in createsslcontext
ctx = SSL.Context('sslv3')
# Create context with SSL params
File "/home/sitetruth/lib/python/M2Crypto/SSL/Context.py", line 43, in
__init__
map()[long(self.ctx)] = self
ValueError: invalid literal for long(): _480e1008_p_SSL_CTX
which, when I look at the code and try some test cases, seems
legitimate. The cacheing code is trying to convert a reference to an
object (a C object, in fact) into a "long". Python 2.4 on Windows
will do that. Python 2.3.4 on Linux converts it to a string first,
gets "_480e1008_p_SSL_CTX", and then tries to convert that to an
integer, which fails.
M2Crypto is supposed to work with Python 2.3, so this should work.
