norm 1.5.9 python binding failure

[urluberluneuf]

On ubuntu 20.04 with python 2.7.18: I get this:

import pynorm Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pynorm/init.py", line 6, in from pynorm.instance import Instance File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pynorm/instance.py", line 17, in import pynorm.constants as c File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pynorm/constants.py", line 10, in from pynorm.core import libnorm File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pynorm/core.py", line 510, in libnorm = get_libnorm() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pynorm/core.py", line 504, in get_libnorm libnorm.NormCountCompletedObjects.restype = ctypes.c_uint32 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/init.py", line 379, in getattr func = self.getitem(name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/init.py", line 384, in getitem func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self)) AttributeError: /home/titi/Documents/NORM/norm-1.5.9/build/libnorm.so: undefined symbol: NormCountCompletedObjects

I found the problem: the function does not exist ! in the core.py file, the lines 504 and 505 need to be commented.

In the 1.5.9 release, the function is commented out in normApi.cpp. That particular function is in a section of "experimentall" API calls and is one mainly used for debugging purposes. In fact, I'm not sure it's really relevant anymore.

So there is a mismatch between the Python binding code that still references that function and the C/C++ API code where it is commented out. I will make sure this is addressed in a new release. In the current code on Github, the function is part of the API and library which is why I haven't noticed the issue. I'm sorry that detail was not caught when the 1.5.9 release package was build.

I made a mistake closing this issue: I may have found a way to circumvent the problem, the problem exists anyway !

This has been addressed in the recent commit that addressed other Python binding issues.
