python error

[philippoeser]

Hi there,

trying to get Python bindings to work on windows (but can't...)

here is what I did (tried to follow WiretapClientSDK.pdf as best as I could):

(1)  installed python 2.3.5

(2)  installed boost 1.42

(3)  copied every DLL from "boost_1_42\lib" to "python23\DLLs"

(4)  downloaded WireTapAPI-2011-1295

(5)  copied WireTapAPI-2011-1295\lib\opt\WinNT\x86_32\WinXP\MSVC_80\libwiretapClientAPI_dynamic.dll to "python23\DLLs"

here is what I get:

ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initlibwiretapClientPI_dynamic)

I am willing to compile WireTapAPI-2011-1295\samples\wiretapPythonClientAPI.cpp myself but would appreciate an example compiler commandline/settings as my tries have been unsuccessful. this will also be a target later (we use py 2.5/2.6 here normally).

Anyone got this to work?

Thanx in advance for your help

Philipp

P.S.: the python examples in the PDF always import "libwiretapPythonClientAPI" even though the generated library is "libwiretapClientAPI_dynamic.dll". Is this outdated? I tried importing "libwiretapClientAPI_dynamic" for the above error...

Also renamed that DLL to "libwiretapPythonClientAPI" and tried importing that (which doesnt seem to make a difference)

Hi,

I'm new to Wiretap and Python. While I try to setup a windows box to run these, I ran into the same problem you have.

The zip file I downloaded is wiretapapi-2011-1295.zip

in its WINXP folder, there are:

libwiretapClientAPI_dynamic.dll

libwiretapClientAPI_dynamic.lib

libwiretapClientAPI.lib

Is it mean to be missing a libwiretapClientAPI.dll ?

seeing this line in all the sample python scripts:

from libwiretapPythonClientAPI import *

I tried to rename the libwiretapClientAPI_dynamic.dll to match the name. But with the same ImportError.

ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init<withWhateverNameIType_CaseSensitive>)

Can anyone give us a working example?

Thanks in advance.
