1This directory contains Python bindings to allow you to access various 2aspects of Samba. At the moment their status is "experimental" and 3they are not built by default. 4 5In order to be able to compile samba-python you need to have python 6and the python-dev packages installed. 7 8Python 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 10by another. By default Samba's libraries are built for whatever is 11installed as "python" on your $PATH, but you can override this using 12the --with-python option. For example 13 14 $ ./configure --with-python=python2.2 15 16To build: 17 18$ autoconf 19$ ./configure 20$ make python_ext 21 22Now, 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 28Samba-python should work now! 29
