I compiled Python in 32-bit mode and tried your v2 patch out, which found the wrong library as I predicted. Then I tried your new regex and it picked out the correct line. I had to edit it to get it to extract just the filename from the line: r'lib%s\.[^\s]+\s\(%s(?:,\s.*)?\)\s=>\s(.*)' % (re.escape(name), abi_type) I factored out the closing bracket from the comma + space bit, moved the group brackets to the end to extract the filename, and made it a raw string. Without the patch, in 32-bit mode it will find 64-bit-only libraries: >>> find_library("m") # 32- and 64-bit available 'libm.so.6' >>> find_library("tcl8.6") # Only 64-bit version available! 'libtcl8.6.so' With my edited regex: >>> find_library("m") '/usr/lib32/libm.so.6' >>> find_library("tcl8.6") is None # No 32-bit version found True ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21042> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
