Python wrapper not working: swig_import_helper() error

This is related to Reading Dicom files in Dlang

I am trying Python wrapper for Imebra as shown in above post.

Python_wrapper.so is created by following command: 

$ g++ -shared -o python_wrapper.so -fPIC -I../../library/include/ -I/usr/include/python3.5m -L../../build -limebra python_wrapper.cxx

I try to load it with following simple python file: 

import sys
sys.path.append('../../build')
from imebra import *            # does not work;  
# import imebra                 # also does not work;

But I get following error: 

$ python3 rnImebra.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "..../0-Imebra-dicom/wrappers/pythonWrapper/imebra.py", line 14, in swig_import_helper
    return importlib.import_module(mname)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 986, in _gcd_import
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 969, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 956, in _find_and_load_unlocked
ImportError: No module named '_imebra'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "rnImebra.py", line 5, in <module>
    import imebra                               #  also does not work; 
  File "..../0-Imebra-dicom/wrappers/pythonWrapper/imebra.py", line 17, in <module>
    _imebra = swig_import_helper()
  File "..../0-Imebra-dicom/wrappers/pythonWrapper/imebra.py", line 16, in swig_import_helper
    return importlib.import_module('_imebra')
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
ImportError: No module named '_imebra'

Where is the problem and how can it be solved?

After downloading the source distribution, just install the python library as explained in the user manual.

cd imebra
python setup.py install

or

cd imebra
python setup.py install --user
