New submission from Jonathan Niehof <jnie...@lanl.gov>: It's come up on occasion (#2936, http://osdir.com/ml/python.ctypes/2008-05/msg00046.html) that ctypes find_library doesn't search LD_LIBRARY_PATH for libraries, which is different behaviour from the runtime linker. The attached patch adds this search.
Unfortunately I can't conceive of a reasonable unit test for this (compiling a shared library in setUp seems a bit overkill.) ---------- assignee: theller components: ctypes files: ctypes_ld_lib_path.patch keywords: patch messages: 117738 nosy: jniehof, theller priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: find_library should search LD_LIBRARY_PATH on linux type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19068/ctypes_ld_lib_path.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9998> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
