[Swig-user] Importing 32 bit library from 64 bit python via swig

[Veeral S. <ve...@gm...>]

Hello,
I am using swig framework to invoke certain C APIs in a C Library from
a python program. Unfortunately the python software needs to run on a
64 bit virtualization platform where as the C library is 32 bit (its a
3rd party library whose 64 bit version is not available). Lets say the
name of the shared library (generated using swig) is _my_swig.so. When
the python wrapper makes "import _my_swig" call, i see the following
error
"ImportError: -snipsnip-/_my_swig.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32"

Is there any known way of importing a 32 bit .so in a 64 bit python program
Any help or pointers will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks
