humn... indeed. The error was obfuscated for me because in the
__init__.py you catch the exception and make it pass silently.
In the build system I was inheriting the CFLAGS from the library and
unfortunately PyMODINIT_FUNC doesn't include the visibility attribute.
Since we use -fvisibility=hidden by default, this was breaking the
module.
It's working now, though I don't like to let it as -fvisibility=default.
I just pushed the python branch again. Could you ack on it?
thanks
