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

[Etienne Robillard]

Hi James,

Part of the problem is because the CFFI and uWSGI developers aren't 
interested to support this. I need to modify CFFI to support 
preprocessing C headers with clang.cindex myself.

I also need to make sure its possible to attach my Python script to the 
master uWSGI process to dispatch FIFO commands.

Clang is needed because CFFI doesn't support preprocessing C headers 
with #define or #include directives.

Best regards,

Etienne
