[Tutor] Regarding licensing GPL terms

Hi,

I am writing an application that uses a python libary  (a *.so file) 
generated using SWIG.
This library  makes direct system calls to the Linux kernel. 
This raises three questions.

a> Does this mean that the library must be distributed under GPL terms?

b> Can I distribute it as LGPL?

c> Also, does any python script that uses this module have to be 
distributed under GPL , LGPL, or is the PSF license sufficient? 
     My preference would be the PSF but I am not sure if it is ok.


Regards,
Anup
