Problem when import C model

[cmdrrickhunter@yaho.com]

this is more of a linux question than a python question, so you may get
better luck with asking there.

What you describe makes perfect sense to me.  If python is a 64 bit
program, it can only link to 64 bit libraries.  If you compiled your
library in 32-bit mode, then the library headers will indicate this,
and linux's library loading code will ignore it when loading libraries
for 64-bit programs.

I think there' might be a trick that lets you compile ELF files with
both 64-bit and 32-bit code, but actually doing so is outside of my
expertise.
