Ah, you're trying to import an .so that is a CPython C extension
module.  That's not what CFFI is for.  With CFFI you can connect
directly to C (and probably Fortran) code that is not specifically
written for Python (i.e. doesn't contain "#include <Python.h>").

You can call C code from Python with CFFI; this C code may be living
in its own (Python-independent) .so file, or may just be more sources
that will be compiled along during the call to ffi.verify() if you use
"sources=[...]".  Look up http://cffi.readthedocs.org for more
information.


A bientôt,

Armin.
