-Subject: [PATCH] Use CFFI in out-of-line API mode (#49)
-
-Currently, ffi.py is called during setup to generate augeas.py; this
-file would normally be used for out-of-line ABI mode. ffi.py is also
-imported at run-time, instead of the generated augeas.py, and used in
-in-line ABI mode.
-
-This changes usage of CFFI to out-of-line API mode (CFFI's "main mode of
-usage"): ffi.py is called during setup to generate _augeas.abi3.so (a C
-extension module); this generated module is imported at run-time.
-
-With this change, the headers/development files for augeas (i.e.
-libaugeas-dev on Debian, augeas-devel on Fedora, etc.) and the C
-compiler are required for build/setup. (These were not necessary
-previously.)
-
-Closes https://github.com/hercules-team/python-augeas/issues/48.
