Magicspp python API shared object file not loadable by python

[Marston]

Hi,

I recently installed magicspp via macport. I installed it as a variant of the CDO package as well as by itself (just for testing). Magics has a python API and should be callable from python 2.7. In ipython I tested the installation and _Magics.so failed to load. This occurs no matter if Magics is installed as a variant or stand-alone.

ls /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Magics/
_Magics.so*  __init__.py  macro.py     metgram.py
from Magics.macro import *

     24     del swig_import_helper
     25 elif _swig_python_version_info >= (2, 6, 0):

     20             return importlib.import_module(mname)
     21         except ImportError:

     23     _Magics = swig_import_helper()

     36         name = _resolve_name(name[level:], package, level)
---> 37     __import__(name)
     38     return sys.modules[name]
ImportError: No module named _Magics

There is a newer version of Magicspp available at by the developer but this is not yet in the Macport archive.

Correction to the text: "...and _Magics.so failed to lead." Should be "and _Magics.so failed to load".
