creating python modules from Pascal

[vancheese]

Hi People

I'm running Jaunty 64bit and I'm trying to use this most amazing tutorial in using Pascal/Dephi to create modules for python.

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Developing_Python_Modules_with_Pascal

However, When following the tutorial, the complying of the module by Lazarus fails when it comes to the linking of the pascal module.

Linking PyMinMod.so
/usr/bin/ld: Python: No such file: No such file or directory


I've installed all the python development files and this is beyond my knowledge and I've no idea about ld and linking ... Can anyone offer some help?

Thanks

Andy

Case sensitivity? Linux does not have a 'Python' package, it has 'python'.

No joy with changing the case, the problem seems to originate from the free pascal compiler

Lazurus uses this command

fpc -MDelphi -Cirot -O1 -gl -XX -k-framework -kpython -WG -vewnhi -l -Fu. -oPyMinMod.so PyMinMod.dpr

and the errror orriginates with -k-framework -kpython section

I've solved this problem by removing the framework options, this transpires only to be a Mac OsX thing.

If you are on a 64 bit version of ubuntu, you'll find that the compiled module will break with the following error

ImportError: PyMinMod.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4


To sort this out, edit PyApi.pas and replace Py_InitModule4 with Py_InitModule4_64

This change is 64 bit v 32 size type issues
