Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/local/pypy/site-packages/confluent_kafka/init.py", line 2, in from .cimpl import * ImportError: unable to load extension module '/usr/local/pypy/site-packages/confluent_kafka/cimpl.pypy-41.so': /usr/local/pypy/site-packages/confluent_kafka/cimpl.pypy-41.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicode_FromFormat

How can I resolve this issue?

Solution

  • PyUnicode_FromFormat is not implemented so far inside PyPy. We'll get to it at some point (maybe soon if you have an example that requires it). You can also contribute it directly, if you want to get involved.

    FWIW it is implemented in the py3.5 branch implementing Python 3.5, but not in trunk (supporting Python 2.7). Trunk only implements PyString_FromFormat. It's mostly a matter of back-porting the implementation, and "downgrading" the C code: in py3.5 it comes from CPython 3.5, so for trunk we'd need the same C code from CPython 2.7 instead.
