Hi, Planning to use the library licensed under GNU Library General Public License v2 we are not doing any modifications in the source code of the library GPL, or our application can be made proprietary can you please more insights into this...

Regards Manju

I think any python program that uses this library would have to fall under GPL, otherwise it would be published as LGPL or a more permissive license.

I am assuming that is the intent. It is a bit unusual for python modules and libraries in general, but if that is your intent, I respect it even though it is limiting.
