[issue43898] Python fails to import .dylib but works when extension is changed to .so
New submission from Ellis trisk-grove : This issue is pretty much summed up by the title. Python does manage to import the library and use it however only when the extension is .so otherwise python cannot find it and fails to import. -- components: macOS messages: 391473 nosy: etriskgrove, ned.deily, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python fails to import .dylib but works when extension is changed to .so versions: Python 3.9 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue43898> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ellis trisk-grove added the comment: This is with regards to an python extension written in zig (I believe the same behaviour would occur from C as I am just using Python.h). What happens is when I compile the library on my mac it generates myLibrary.dylib file, when testing with python the following occurs: >>> import myLibrary Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'myLibrary' However when changing the name of myLibrary.dylib to myLibrary.so python manages to import and use it as it should. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue43898> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
