Hello all,
selinux python module can't be imported when it's built using
swig-4.0.0:
import selinux
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py",
line 13, in <module>
from . import _selinux
ImportError: cannot import name '_selinux' from 'selinux'
(/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py)
You can see it at [1]
The reason is that swig changed the way how it generates
__init__.py.
Now it uses:
from . import _selinux
I've started to rewrite libselinux in order not to build and
install
python bindings manually, but to use python distutils [2]. It
still fails
on travis but I was able to built it and use it on my local
rawhide machine.
