Yes, it is used extensively by system-config-printer, in particular the cupshelpers.py file.

There is also documentation for it included in the pycups source tarball: try ‘make doc’.

Is there any example code for pycups / python-cups?

Dan: run ‘make’ to build pycups — the VERSION macro comes from the environment set up by the Makefile.

For packaging, I use ‘cups’ for the name because I want to import the extension with ‘import cups’.

Hey Tim,

trying to use pycups on RHEL5 but can’t even get it to build. I get the following;

[root@gbwtecsuv1008 pycups-1.9.24]# python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_ext
building ‘cups’ extension
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector –param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c cupsmodule.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/cupsmodule.o
cupsmodule.c: In function ‘cups_require’:
cupsmodule.c:242: error: ‘VERSION’ undeclared (first use in this function)
cupsmodule.c:242: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
cupsmodule.c:242: error: for each function it appears in.)
cupsmodule.c:272: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘VERSION’
error: command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1

Any hints?

Also, in the setup the package is referred to as “cups” rather than “pycups” which will result in an RPM being produced called cups-1.0 which isn’t what you want (I assume).

TIA

Cheers

Dan
