How to browse a C Library with Python

[georg.heiss]

Hello,
with Python it is simple to call direct functions from c-librarys.
Is there a way to browse over a library i.e. '/lib/libc.so' with
python, to see all possible functions in a library?

#!/python
import dl, time
i = 1
line = "Python ist geil, weil ich direkt auf C librarys zugreifen kann!
\n"
print line
a = dl.open('/lib/libc.so')
print 'call c-function direct from /lib/libc.so'
i = a.call('time')
print i
print 'call function from python'
i = time.time()
print i

You could use the subprocess module to execute 'nm /lib/libc.so' and look
at lines with type T.

To do this on a dynamic library you have to use nm -D /lib/libc.so

This could be a solution

import commands

callables = commands.getoutput("nm -D /lib/libc.so.6 | egrep ' T '
").split("\n")
callables = [c.split()[2] for c in callables]

print callables
