#include <Python.h>
#include <boost/python.hpp>
using namespace boost:ython;
char const* please_work()
{
return "Thank God!";
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(testme)
{
def("please_work", please_work);
}
int main()
{
Py_Initialize();
PyRun_SimpleString("import testme\n"
"print testme.please_work()\n");
Py_Finalize();
return 0;
}
Compile & run and I''ve got:
ImportError: No module named testme
Huh ? Did I forget something ?
no more war pigs of the power
Embedding Python
Hi
I''m using Boost.Python and trying to embedde Python into C++ app.
Take a look on this minimalistic code:
You need to notify python that the testme module is a builtin module.
That is, it doesn't exist as an external script but is part of the binary itself.
(like sys, math... which are compiled into the python interpreter)
To do so, use the PyImport_AppendInittab() function before Py_Initialize().
initfoo is the standard Python initialisation entry point for the extension module named foo .
Boost.Python should have generated it for you.
Checking the return values from those functions may also be helpful.

First:
Make a DLL project
Second:
Add your codes,and make sure your project name is same with Dll project.

Thanks Fruny, I needed that.
I have another question. Suppose some script uses Simple Generators. Now, this script would be executed from C++ ... is it possible that after yield statement control would be returned to C++ app ? Or there is some other way to stop script execution, save it state, execute C++ code and next continue at resumed line ?

The best way to know what happens is to try it. But I''d think that if a generator is called by your C++ program then eventually it will have to return control to that program - there''s nothing else it can do. Any state in that generator will be preserved unless you call Py_Finalize, I expect.

I found it easier to write my script scheduler in python, and have this scheduler call out to the generator scripts. The scheduler is called once per frame in c++ (through the very-high-level embedding). It is up to the generator scripts to remember to yield execution- if they don''t keep this in mind, the script will block execution.
Sample code:
http://urbanhunting.com/~dustin/katana2/script.cpp
http://urbanhunting.com/~dustin/katana2/internal.py
http://urbanhunting.com/~dustin/katana2/example.py
In my C++ mainloop I simply call Script::update() once per frame.

Virtual filesystems ? Python 2.3 can import scripts directly from zip archives (PEP 273). Is that what you want ? Or do you want something like LUFS-Python ?
