[Xapian-discuss] bindings - python module

[gervin23]

hello all,

i'm new to xapian and am just beginning to play around with the python
bindings. first off, the example (simplesearch.py) i pulled from cvs
didn't work complaining of not finding the _xapian module. after using
strace, i noticed python trying to search for _xapian.so. the default
xapian-bindings build produces _xapian (without the .so extension) so
renaming it to _xapian.so fixes the problem. i didn't find this fix in
the archives so apologies if this is a dupe. 

btw, this is a gentoo linux box running the 2.6.7 kernel, python 2.3.4,
and gcc 3.3.4.

thanks,
andrew
