This means the library file was found, but it doesn't contain any symbol of the name "ical_set_unknown_token_handling_setting". It may be because such a name is actually a macro. In that case you can't use ffi.dlopen(). You should look at ffi.set_source() instead (and *not* ffi.verify(); Maciej probably mentioned this by mistake, it is now called set_source()).
I haven't tried out ffi.verify I am not sure how to load a shared lib using ffi.verify, I am sorry if my understanding is wrong.
See http://cffi.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview.html#real-example-api-level-o... . In your case you need: ffi.set_source("_ical_cffi", """ #include <ical.h> """, include_dirs=['./include'], # or where ical.h is libraries=['ical'], library_dirs=['./lib'], # or where libical.so is ) You also need the same ffi.cdef() as you use now, and ffi.compile() as shown in the example. The ffi.cdef() can use the syntax ``...`` (dot-dot-dot) in many places when it is combined with ffi.set_source(). See the rest of the documentation section for more. A bientôt, Armin.
