At the moment their status is "experimental" and +they are not built by default. + +In order to be able to compile samba-python you need to have python +and the python-dev packages installed. + +Python libraries are always built for a particular version of Python +(2.2, 2.1, etc), and libraries built for one version will not be seen +by another. By default Samba's libraries are built for whatever is +installed as "python" on your $PATH, but you can override this using +the --with-python option. For example + + $ ./configure --with-python=python2.2 + +To build: + +$ autoconf +$ ./configure +$ make python_ext + +Now, you can install the modules: + +$ cp build/lib.*/*.so /usr/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload/ + +(the directory /usr/lib/python2.1 may vary, depending on your installation) + +Samba-python should work now! |
