Yegor Yefremov added the comment: This issue is still up to date. Most impacted are distos like for example Buldroot (http://buildroot.org/). Usual production rootfs provide neither gcc nor /sbin/ldconfig nor objdump. So find_library() is doomed from the very beginning.
Such packages like pyusb, pyudev etc. rely on find_library() and are not usable in such environment. Pyusb developers had to create an extra backend to overcome this issue (https://github.com/walac/pyusb/pull/29). So common solution would be very useful for such environments. ---------- nosy: +Yegor Yefremov _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13508> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
