 Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:01 pm Post subject: building an extension module |
 |
|
I'm trying to build an extension module following the instructions in document "Extending and embedding Python" in the Python documentation set. I used the example in the document, the spam module. I put files spammodule.c and setup.py in a directory and then invoked
| Code: | | python setup.py build |
There is a C compiler on the VMS system where I work:
| Code: | MANGA: cc/version
HP C V7.2-022 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.3
|
Unfortunately the build doesn't work. Here's the ouput of the setup script:
| Code: | MANGA: python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
building 'spam' extension
creating build
creating build/temp.openvms-0-HP_rx2620__(1.60GHz-3.0MB)-2.7
mc cc -I/python_root/include/python2.7 -c spammodule.c /object= build/temp.openvms-0-HP_rx2620__(1.60GHz-3.0MB)-2.7/spammodule.obj
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image cc
-CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found MANGA$DKA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]CC.EXE;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 8, in <module>
ext_modules = [module1])
File "/python_root/lib/distutils/core.py", line 151, in setup
dist.run_commands()
File "/python_root/lib/distutils/dist.py", line 953, in run_commands
self.run_command(cmd)
## many entries in the stack trace deleted...
File "/python_root/lib/distutils/spawn.py", line 138, in _spawn_vms
if rc[2] & 1 == 0:
IndexError: tuple index out of range
|
Essentially the problem is that setup can't find the C compiler. I checked the keywords that can be passed to setup but I didn't find any to tell it where to find the C compiler.
Would someone have a suggestion?
Thanks. |

I found a previous post that discusses the subject. I tried script python_vms:build_module.py. The module now builds, but I can't import it. Here's how I structured the module:
| Code: | |
|--- spam
|
|--- __init__.py
|--- _spam.exe
|
__init__.py contains this
| Code: | from _spam import *
__version__ = '0.1'
|
Now when I try to import it:
| Code: | MANGA: python
Python 2.7.8 (default, Sep 9 2014, 11:50:54) [DECC] on OpenVMS
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import spam
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "spam/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
from _spam import *
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_spam)
|
Finally, here's the source code of the module:
| Code: | #include <Python.h>
static PyObject* spam_system (PyObject *self, PyObject *args);
static PyMethodDef SpamMethods[] = {
{"system", spam_system, METH_VARARGS,
"Execute a shell command."},
{NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}
};
static PyObject*
spam_system (PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
const char *command;
int sts;
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple (args, "s", command))
return NULL;
sts = system (command);
return Py_BuildValue ("i", sts);
}
PyMODINIT_FUNC
init_spam (void)
{
Py_InitModule ("_spam", SpamMethods);
}
|
I can't see why the init function is not found.
Thanks again. |

Hello,
When you invoke the script script python_vms:build_module.py you need
to pass the correct case argument. You can try to be sure to use something like this:
| Code: | | $ python /python_vms/build_cython_module.py "_spam" |

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I'm still getting the same error. Here's the output of the build (I activated tracing with set verify):

So, the problem is that the _spam module call an unknown function "vms_system".
I can take a look if you give me a pointer on the source of _spam.c

 forgotten that the source was already included.
I have found the problem, if you take a look at python_include:pyconfig.h
You will noticed that the function exit, system and wait are redefined but only vms_exit is exported in the shareable pythonshr.
I will fix this a forthcoming kit.
Thank for reporting.
