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

[Etienne Robillard]

Hi James,

Thanks for your input.

I want to make a native Python application (uwsgictl) to dispatch FIFO 
commands to the master uWSGI process.

uwsgictl would depend on libuwsgi.so, a uWSGI plugin included in the 
distribution.

My goal is to use CFFI to generate python bindings for libuwsgi.so using 
clang interpreter. :)


Best regards,

Etienne
