Extending/Embedding Confusion

[jeremito]

I am trying to learn how to extend and/or embed Python. I have looked
at the document "Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter" and
also "Python/C API Reference Manual. In the examples shown in
"Extending. .." there are some things I ma not familiar with so I turn
to the index in the Reference Manual, but they are not listed. For
example, PyEval_CallObje ct and PyDict_GetAttrS tring. My question is
this: Is the documentation out of date or is the index not complete?
Where can I get information about these things?

Secondly, I am really struggling with understanding how to Extend/Embed
Python. The examples given in the documentation are not as helpful as
I would hope. Does anyone know of additional examples on the web that
will shed some light on this issue? I have tried Google, but haven't
yet been successful in finding additional examples that help.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Re: Extending/Embedding Confusion

Depending on what you are trying to do you might be better off to start by
using Pyrex, Boost::Python or Swig.
