#5596 Port C extension modules to Python to allow noarch python-ipalib packages
Closed: Fixed Opened by jcholast.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

Currently FreeIPA ships with two C extension modules, both of which can be ported to Python:

  • default_encoding_utf8: This module sets the default encoding to UTF-8. It can be replaced with:

{{{#!python
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

  • _ipap11helper: This is a support module for ipapython.p11helper, which calls functions from libcrypto, libp11-kit and a PKCS!#11 module. The libcrypto calls can be replaced with python-cryptography code, the rest can be called using python-cffi.

Once we get rid of these, we can package python-ipalib as noarch.
