dl module

Hi everyone.

I am using python2.2 on 64 bit machine. I have discovered that
Wrapping/Python/vtk/__init__.py tries to import the dl module which
unfortunately have some issues on 64 bit

>>> import dl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
SystemError: module dl requires sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) ==
sizeof(char*)

Just wondering if anyone has come up with a solution.

Thanks

Re: dl module

The solution is this: In __init__.py, look for this:

try:
import dl
except ImportError:
dl = None

And change it to this:

try:
import dl
except ImportError:
dl = None
except SystemError:
dl = None

I know this fix works on linux-ia64, so if you can confirm that it also
works on your linux-x86_64 system then I'll commit it to cvs along with
some comments about why its there.

Re: dl module

Hmm... I looked and the fix is already in cvs. Make sure that the
__init__.py that your program is getting is the same as the one in VTK cvs.
