cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in raspberry pi with python

Question

Here I am trying to import 'libEpsonFiscalDriver.so' file in raspberry pi using python 2.7. Here are my steps in python

>>>import ctypes
>>>ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('/home/pi/odoo/my_module/escpos/lib/libEpsonFiscalDriver.so')

Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "", line 1, in 
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 443, in LoadLibrary
        return self._dlltype(name)
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 365, in __init__
        self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
    OSError: /home/pi/odoo/my_module/escpos/lib/libEpsonFiscalDriver.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So here I am getting this error.

Extra Information: Header Information of libEpsonFiscalDriver.so file.

readelf -h libEpsonFiscalDriver.so

For more, I have tested this same code with my other system with Ubuntu installed having Intel Processor and it works fine there. As, lib header listed Machine as Intel 80386. I dought that this lib will only work with Intel Architecture. Is it the thing or am I missing something?

Any help will be more than appreciated! Thank you.

The lib is not compatible with Raspberry Pi as the architectures are different. You need to find an ARM based version of that driver if you want to use it on the Pi.
