PYTHON3.3 >> sybpydb.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_Decode

Question

I am having trouble with this problem. I want to connect to sybase using python3.3. But error occurs when I enter the code:

import sybpydb

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /opt/sybase/OCS-15_0/python/python31_64r/lib/sybpydb.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_Decode

I hope anyone can help me get rid of this....

The extension you have there works only with Python 3.1. – Martijn Pieters Feb 25 '14 at 12:02 — Martijn Pieters, Feb 25 '14 at 12:02

The C extension you have there works only with Python 3.1.

Python 3.3 has an updated Unicode architecture, and the PyUnicodeUCS2_Decode function no longer exists in that version.

You'll need to find a version specifically for Python 3.3 or compile your own.

Because the C API has changed in this respect, it may be that the extension needs to be updated to work with Python 3.3; you'll need to contact the authors of the extension about this.

Thanks! Solved it by reverting to 3.1 – Kris Edison Feb 25 '14 at 12:20
Note that Python 3.1 is not the most performant or full-featured release, unfortunately. – Martijn Pieters Feb 25 '14 at 12:23

You have to recompile python with ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME/Python27 --enable-unicode=ucs4

Follow Update new Django and Python 2.7.* with virtualenv on Dreamhost (with passenger)
