Hi Clint, See http://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html for description of how ctypes works. As Python programs are interpreted, the only way to access external shared libraries from Python code is by dlopen()ing them. By looking at attic code, it only accesses libc (in xattr.py) and libcrypto (in attic/crypto.py).
Of course, this is not the best practice, a simplier solution will be to use existing modules like python-xattr and python-crypto, or writing a Python extension where you can use C code. -- Dmitry Shachnev On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 9:00 PM, Clint Adams <cl...@softwarefreedom.org> wrote: > On Sun, Jan 26, 2014 at 01:04:09PM +0100, Jonas Borgström wrote: >> Attic uses ctypes to interact with libcrypto and does not use >> python3-openssl.
