pybind11 holds the GIL whenever a C++ function is called from Python, so the logging callback can't then execute Python code. To avoid this problem, release the GIL for every function bound by pybind11 (in case log statements are added to those that don't currently have any), and wrap the logging callback in a lambda function that first aquires the GIL lock for the function's scope.
libloot-python
A Python module that wraps libloot, generated by pybind11. Not everything in the API is exposed: coverage can be extended on request (or by pull request).
Downloads
Snapshot builds are available on Bintray. The snapshot build archives are named like so:
libloot-python-<short revision ID>-python<python version>-win<architecture>.zip
For example libloot-python-94de368-python2.7-win32.zip was built using the revision with shortened commit ID 94de368.
Documentation
The documentation can be found online at Read The Docs.
Build Instructions
The module's build system uses CMake and requires Python. Make sure they're installed, then run CMake, and build the generated solution file.
Only Windows support has been tested, though Linux builds should also be possible.
