6 years ago Thanks for this bug report -- I notice that you are on an ARM system, which I have never tested against. The most likely reason for the bug is that the C library, built though cffi, has not in fact been built (built errors?/Installation errors?) and thus the _C types are assigned to None as a backup.
Did you have any luck calling other functions from the library? (I suppose not?)
When attempting to import petlib.pack I get the following error:
Support not loading the library to build docs without compiling. Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in

self.bn = _C.BN_new()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'BN_new'
I tried following the error put was left puzzled when it came down to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/petlib-0.0.43-py2.7-linux-armv7l.egg/petlib/
Can provide debug information as needed.
