Importing python modules in C++ (python 2.6)

[Enk]

Hi

I am currently working on a little hobby project in C++, but wants to move some of the code to a scripted language.

I've used some Python and really like it so it was an obvious choice :)

I found this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/embedpython_1.aspx) article on codeproject.com, but this doesn't work with 2.6.

I'm getting an "ImportError: Import by filename is not supported." at the PyImport_Import()-function since 2.6 doesn't allow loading of modules this way.

So how can I load python scripts in C++?

If you just want to run a python script (eg: foo.py) from c++ then you can use something like this



#include "python2.6/Python.h"

Py_Initialize();
FILE *fp=fopen("foo.py","r+");
PyRun_SimpleFile(fp,"foo.py");
Py_Finalize();


You will need to link to libpython2.6 as well.
