Hi all, I can't seem to find out how to get a python script to run from
a C (well, C++...) program.
In particular, I'm confused about how the execution of the example code
at http://docs.python.org/ext/pure-embedding.html works. If I call the
example code 'multiply.py' and I generate an executable named 'call' (as
the page suggests), I had expected the following to work:
../call multiply.py multiply 3 2
where 'multiply' is a function in multiply.py. The above comes back with
an ImportError saying that there is "No module named multiply.py", and
a similar message if I change 'multiply.py' to 'multiply' (again as the
page would suggest).
I saw somewhere (sorry, I forget where now) some code that would suggest
that I need to tag my python files with a module name, and got the
vague impression that something like:
modname="multip ly"
mod = __import__(modn ame)
would do the trick. This doesn't seem to affect things though...
Could anyone show me in the right direction towards just getting a
simple 'hello world' type example to be run from a PyImport_<somet hing>
call? I'm hoping I could figure it out without bothering anyone else
from then on.
Thank you,
-tom
