Initial swig interface file
Please send questions to support@wolfssl.com
**Python Support**
For Linux, OS X, or *nix
1) build wolfSSL with fpic on Linux, not needed on OS X
./configure --disable-shared CFLAGS=-fpic
make
sudo make install
2) start the example server from the root directory
./examples/server/server -d
3) run ./PythonBuild.sh from this directory it will
a) build the swig wrapper file
b) compile the swig wrapper and wolfssl wrapper files
c) place them into a wolfssl shared library for python
d) run runme.py which will connect to the wolfSSL server, write a
string, then read the result and output it
Windows only
1) Make sure the install path to wolfssl doesn't have any spaces anywhere in the
directory path because swig doesn't like that
2) Have python for Windows installed, note install directory
3) Have swigwin installed, note install directory
4) Make sure swigwin install direcotry is added to PATH env. variable
5) Make sure env. variables PYTHON_INCLUDE and PYTHON_LIB are set correctly e.g.
PYTHON_INCLUE="c:\Python26\include"
PYTHON_LIB="c:\Python26\libs\python26.lib"
6) Build python_wolfssl in Release mode only, Debug build fails to find a debug
python library that isn't included by default
7) The outputs _wolfssl.pyd and wolfssl.py are the wolfssl import library
8) Can now run python runme.py from the swig directory
