I have this error message poping up when I try to import a module I made in C
using the Python/C API. Everything compiles like a charm.
Gives me this error message :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mod_test.py", line 4, in ?
import utm
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initutm)
but the "initutm" function is there.
Running on Fedora Core 3.
Thanx
David
P.S Other question is there a command to know what export symbols a .so library
has ?
