Hi, I'm extending a windows application (C++) by embedding Python calls. It seems to be a known problem that windows applications detach immediately from the calling console, so that all output to stdout (from both C++ and Python) doesn't get shown anywhere.
A workaround seems to be the allocation of a windows console and redirecting stdout to it: AllocConsole(); freopen("conin$", "r", stdin); freopen("conout$", "w", stdout); freopen("conout$", "w", stderr); Still, this console only shows the output of my C++ application, not the output of the embedded python calls. The following code Py_Initialize(); std::cout << "start printing..." << std::endl; PyRun_SimpleString("print('PRINT')\n"); std::cout << "done printing." << std::endl; only prints start printing... done printing. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? Basically I want to get an ipython console running in the background of my Windows app, so that I can process its data.
