Re: [libextractor] python bindings

[Christian Grothoff]

To be honest, trying it out myself now, I am also having had problems.  I've 
fixed some of those now and there will be a libextractor-python-0.5.4 on the 
webpage soon (oh, and LE 0.5.4 will also be out later tonight).  

Please let me know if you have any problems with this new version.  It should 
be installed after libextractor and work after doing:

$ ./configure --with-extractor=LE-PREFIX --prefix=SOME-PREFIX
$ make
$ make install

You will also need to set

$ export PYTHONPATH=SOME-PREFIX/lib/python2.3/site-packages/

Now, even then the code does not _quite_ work for me (at least not using 
python extract.py), but Heiko (who did the original code) seems to have 
disappeared and I'm no Python expert, so this is how far I can get it.

Good luck (and please let me know if you find anything specific to fix).
