[PYTHON-CRYPTO] M2Crypto 0.16 status update

[Conrad Steenberg]

Hi Heikki

That is indeed good news :-)

I happened to need to repackage a M2Crypto for a project at CERN and
decided to see if the m2c-0.15 code could be made to work with the
latest version of SWIG - namely 1.3.29.

The short answer is that it was almost trivial, only needing the
attached patch, which comes down to a

-%include <openssl/opensslv.h>
+#include <openssl/opensslv.h>


Apart from that, there are numerous warnings of the form 
_asn1.i:19: Warning(121): %name is deprecated.  Use %rename instead.

The code in this case in _asn.i is:
%name(asn1_object_new) extern ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new( void );

Replacing the above with
%rename(asn1_object_new) ASN1_OBJECT_new( void );

makes the symbols asn1_object_new and ASN1_OBJECT_new disappear from the
generated __m2crypto.so :-(

Do you or anybody else on the list have any idea what the correct syntax
for %rename is in this case? The swig docs don't suggest anything
obviously wrong with the above, afaics. See
http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/SWIGDocumentation.html

Cheers

Conrad
