| 1 | This directory contains Python bindings to allow you to access various
 | 
|---|
| 2 | aspects of Samba.  At the moment their status is "experimental" and
 | 
|---|
| 3 | they are not built by default.
 | 
|---|
| 4 | 
 | 
|---|
| 5 | In order to be able to compile samba-python you need to have python
 | 
|---|
| 6 | and the python-dev packages installed.
 | 
|---|
| 7 | 
 | 
|---|
| 8 | Python libraries are always built for a particular version of Python
 | 
|---|
| 9 | (2.2, 2.1, etc), and libraries built for one version will not be seen
 | 
|---|
| 10 | by another.  By default Samba's libraries are built for whatever is
 | 
|---|
| 11 | installed as "python" on your $PATH, but you can override this using
 | 
|---|
| 12 | the --with-python option.  For example
 | 
|---|
| 13 | 
 | 
|---|
| 14 |   $ ./configure --with-python=python2.2
 | 
|---|
| 15 | 
 | 
|---|
| 16 | To build:
 | 
|---|
| 17 | 
 | 
|---|
| 18 | $ autoconf
 | 
|---|
| 19 | $ ./configure 
 | 
|---|
| 20 | $ make python_ext
 | 
|---|
| 21 | 
 | 
|---|
| 22 | Now, you can install the modules:
 | 
|---|
| 23 | 
 | 
|---|
| 24 | $ cp build/lib.*/*.so /usr/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload/
 | 
|---|
| 25 | 
 | 
|---|
| 26 | (the directory /usr/lib/python2.1 may vary, depending on your installation)
 | 
|---|
| 27 | 
 | 
|---|
| 28 | Samba-python should work now!
