I am going to answer this question myself, but perhaps this will be
useful for someone else. My original C++ code was fine, the
PyRun_SimpleFile was failing due to errors in my python code. To get
a console and display the python interpreter errors I allocated a
console, and redirected stdout and stderr:
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved
)
{
switch (ul_reason_for_call)
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
AllocConsole();
fpStdOut = freopen( "CONOUT$", "wt", stdout);
fpStdErr = freopen( "CONOUT$", "wt", stderr);
fprintf(stdout, "Console opened\n");
Py_Initialize();
init_mymodule(); // SWIG generated method
break;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
fclose(fpStdErr);
fclose(fpStdOut);
FreeConsole();
Py_Finalize();
break;
//case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
//case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
}
return TRUE;
}
Then, I can show the Python interpreter errors in the console using
PyErr_Print() in my C++ code:
// Display the Open dialog box.
if (GetOpenFileName(&ofn)==TRUE)
{
// Thank you: http://www.ragestorm.net/tutorial?id=21#8
PyObject* PyFileObject = PyFile_FromString(ofn.lpstrFile, "r");
if (PyFileObject == NULL)
{
PyErr_Print();
PyErr_Clear();
return false; // Let the user know the error.
}
if (PyRun_SimpleFile(PyFile_AsFile(PyFileObject),
ofn.lpstrFile) == -1)
{
PyErr_Print();
PyErr_Clear();
}
Py_DECREF(PyFileObject);
}
