python support for fontforge

[rc]

I'm trying to install a package that invokes fontforge from python, and when the script tries to
import fontforge, psMat
I get the error message
ImportError: No module named fontforge

Is some python support for fontforge missing, and where can I obtain it?

Thanks for any tips.

(I am running Mageia 4 for x86_64)

Which package are you trying to install?

EDIT: Just had a quick look, and it seems fontforge needs to be recompiled. Important hint here:
http://fontforge.org/python.html

In python terms fontforge embeds python. It is possible to build fontforge so that it is also a python extension (configure --enable-pyextension)

Thank you. By rebuilding fontforge with --enable-pyextension, I added the missing files in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ .
