SASL wrappers for Python, borrowed from QPid

python-sasl's Issues

Stress test Cython version

stress test where you loop connecting to impala, do some query, and close the connection a bajillion times over a weekend?
and make sure at the end of the weekend the RSS of the process is around thes ame?

Required C Compilation

I am having a few people reach out to me with different OS's (CentOS, Windows, Mac) that are having issues with getting python-sasl to install. I think it has something to do with compilation using the c compiler. Do you have any tutorials for setting up a compiler on vanilla machines and attaching to a python installation.

Thanks!

Prompting Password

Hi Todd,
I am having an issue where the sasl is prompting for a password in the console.

I am using this wrapper as a starter:
https://github.com/BradRuderman/python-hiveserver2/blob/master/example/example.py

And am being prompted at this line 63:
ret, chosen_mech, initial_response = self.sasl.start(self.mechanism)
in:
https://github.com/BradRuderman/python-hiveserver2/blob/master/src/cloudera/thrift_sasl.py

This password prompt has no effect on the connection provided I actually pass a string. If I don't pass a string it throws this error:
Bad status: 3 (Error validating the login)

I am not sure where this validation is coming from, and why it is actually prompts when the password is not needed.

Thanks!

Wrapper uses <unistd.h>, which doesn't exist on Windows

I'm attempting to install "python-sasl" on Windows (Python 2.7.10), using Visual C++ for Python and the Cyrus sasl library.

I've already installed stdint.h from msinttypes.googlecode.com and Cyrus sasl 2.1.25 from ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-sasl-2.1.25.tar.gz. Installing these two sets of include files eliminated some errors, but now I've gotten to an error that's not so easy to resolve:

C:\Users\user.name\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\Bin\amd64\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GS- /DNDEBUG -Isasl -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC /Tpsasl/saslwrapper.cpp /Fobuild\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\sasl/saslwrapper.obj
saslwrapper.cpp
C:\Users\user.name\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\Include\xlocale(342) : warning C4530: C++ exception handler used, but unwind semantics are not enabled. Specify /EHsc
sasl/saslwrapper.cpp(25) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'unistd.h': No such file or directory

Is there a proper way to install python-sasl on Windows, or is it just not supported at the moment?

Library file libsasl2.so.2 not found

Getting error as "ImportError: libsasl2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Just trying to import the package using import sasl and this is throwing the above mentioned error:

import sasl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "***/site-packages/sasl/init.py", line 15, in
from sasl.saslwrapper import *
ImportError: libsasl2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Python 3 support would be nice

Python 3 support would be nice.

Lots of other packages depending on it:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31701493/problems-installing-pyhs2-in-python3

Currently compiling on Python 3 fails with "PyString_AsString" and other errors.

OSX Usage

I've built sasl with the following command:

pip install sasl --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/sasl/"

The above installs successfully but on import i receive the error below:

(clusto)quasiben@dirty-horse:~$ python -c 'import sasl;'
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/quasiben/anaconda/envs/clusto/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sasl/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

Thoughts?
