Linuz Python Module using PythonC/ API

[David]

I have this error message poping up when I try to import a module I made in C
using the Python/C API. Everything compiles like a charm.

Gives me this error message :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mod_test.py", line 4, in ?
import utm
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initutm)

but the "initutm" function is there.

Running on Fedora Core 3.

Thanx
David

P.S Other question is there a command to know what export symbols a .so library
has ?

So actually your 'initutm' is '_Z7initutmv' for the linker. Try building
with gcc instead, or declaring

extern "C" PyMODINIT_FUNC initutm(void);

or something like that.
