Is this library written only for freebsd ? I just tried installing it on OSX and got the errors below. Any pointers to python-zfs bindings that can work on linux, freebsd & osx ?

py-libzfs doesn't support operating systems other than FreeBSD at the moment. However, it shouldn't be very hard to add support for them - it should be a matter of getting rid of uname -K and figuring out correct include paths.
