Hi all,
I would like to extend uWSGI by creating a CPython extension module for
the libuwsgi.so shared library included in the distribution.
My goal is to use this automatically generated CPython module for
extending uWSGI.
I have summarized my current approach here:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2017-December/112475.html
So far, I have tried to use CFFI and pycparser to generate the Python
bindings, however CFFI and pycparser doesn't handle C directives like
#include and #define.
I also attempted using clang to preprocess the "uwsgi.h" header found in
the uWSGI distro with pycparser.parse_file() to generate a AST, however
the generated AST object seems incorrect.
Is there any way to reflect a shared library into a CPython module?
I know that using "nm -D libuwsgi.so" I can get a list of available
functions for this module. However, I have very little experience with
ctypes and CFFI.
Do I need to modify CFFI to allow it to parse a C header with libclang?
I'm guessing CFFI/clang or ctypes should allow me to reflect the shared
library, but I'm not sure about which method is the most appropriate.
What do you think?
Sincerely,
Etienne
