How to create a python extension module from a shared library?

[James Chapman]

Hi Etienne,

I'm not familiar with uSWGI, so I started here:
https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Hooks.html
AFAIK there are a number of hooks already exposed and available to Python
apps.

However, if I've understood your question correctly, you want to extend
uWSGI itself by writing some python code which is then translated/generated
into C code? You refer to AST generation but why are you doing this? Maybe
my unfamiliarity with uWSGI is preventing me from understanding exactly
what it is you are trying to do, but further clarification would go a long
way.

If your goal is actually to extend uWSGI via a plugin, then there's more to
just writing some python, you'll need to write some C code (I wouldn't
bother trying to generate this as it'll probably not work):
https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi-docs/blob/master/tutorials/WritingPlugins.rst

If you look here, there's a link to each 3rd party plugin (mostly GitHub)
where you can see the source code for each plugin. This is a very good
starting point as there are many examples here:
https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ThirdPartyPlugins.html

Perhaps you can clarify.

James
