Description Andy Lutomirski 2013-09-26 21:49:21 UTC 
libseccomp 2.1.0 added Python bindings, but the Fedora package doesn't seem to build them.
Comment 1 Paul Moore 2013-09-26 21:56:06 UTC 
While the Python bindings do exist in libseccomp 2.1.0, they are intentionally disabled (support is removed from ./configure) as they are not yet supported.

Do you have a Python application that can make use of libseccomp?
Comment 2 Andy Lutomirski 2013-09-26 22:02:44 UTC 
I'm writing one.  It's a simple web server that will sandbox itself after loading but before accepting any connections.
Comment 3 Paul Moore 2013-09-26 22:17:06 UTC 
Please keep the upstream libseccomp developers aware of your progress, one of the reasons why the Python bindings are not yet supported is the lack of experience with any Python apps using libseccomp.  Your experience could help push that forward.
Comment 4 Andy Lutomirski 2013-09-27 01:20:06 UTC 
Will do, but don't hold your breath...

This stuff is likely to be a bit messy, because it's perfectly valid for Python to issue unexpected syscalls.  I'll probably end up forcing some combination of ENOSYS returns and SIGSYS.
Comment 5 Cole Robinson 2013-12-17 19:48:02 UTC 
Since the python bindings are still experimental, things are basically functioning as intended, so there isn't much use in keeping this bug open.
