Version 0.0.4 released; Changes include: Fixed some typos in the documentation
Version 0.0.3 released; Changes include: documentaion update, port to Python's distutils
python-shbuf is a simple Python extension for accessing libshbuf shared buffers.
Please read the documentation of libshbuf for more information.
Version 0.0.4 is stable, however far from being feature complete.
Documentation of python-shbuf is rather limited at the moment. Use the native introspection facilities of Python to get an overview of the supported functions. The API is quite similar to the C API.
python-shbuf was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from September 2003, it should work on most other Linux distributions and may be POSIX implementations since it uses the Python distutils for source code configuration and installation.
python-shbuf 0.0.4 requires an installed development version of libshbuf 0.0.3 or newer.
This module is made with distutils, install the module by running:
python setup.py build python setup.py install
There is also a classic Makefile supplied which you may use instead. It is just a wrapper around setup.py.
The newest release is always available from http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/python-shbuf/
The current release is 0.0.4
Get python-shbuf's development sources from the CVS repository.
