Description Javantea 2016-12-27 23:35:54 UTC

The python module for cryptlib is broken due to lack of zlib. This is caused by the zlib patch only working for the C library and not for the bindings. The patch should modify bindings/setup.py to cause it to use the system zlib also.

>>> import cryptlib_py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/cryptlib_py.cpython-34m.so: undefined symbol: inflate

This also affects the python2.7 bindings and any other bindings.

Hi,
Can you please checkout dev-libs/cryptlib-3.4.3-r1 I see this was already addressed in past but commented out... I am unsure why.
Thanks!

dev-libs/cryptlib-3.4.3-r1 fixes python but removes the python3_4 and python3_5 targets.

yes, I found out that this package is incompatible with python-3.
I will remove the previous one.
