Hi guys, I am pretty new to Python and to embedding it in C. Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
I have a C program that accepts user input, which can be a Python script which includes functions defined by the user line by line as typed in. Let me show the code that I have: #include "Python.h" main(int argc, char **argv) { // Pass argv[0] to the Python interpreter Py_SetProgramName(argv[0]); // Initialize the Python interpreter. Required. Py_Initialize(); // Define sys.argv. It is up to the application if you // want this; you can also let it undefined (since the Python // code is generally not a main program it has no business // touching sys.argv...) PySys_SetArgv(argc, argv); PyRun_SimpleString("def fib(n):\n"); PyRun_SimpleString("\t\ta, b = 0, 1\n"); PyRun_SimpleString("\t\t\while b < n:n"); PyRun_SimpleString("\t\tprint b,\n"); PyRun_SimpleString("\t\t\a, b = b, a+bn"); PyRun_SimpleString("fib(2000)\n"); // Exit, cleaning up the interpreter Py_Exit(0); } The code gives me the following: File "<string>", line 1 def fib(n): ^ SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing File "<string>", line 1 a, b = 0, 1 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File "<string>", line 1 while b < n:n ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File "<string>", line 1 print b, ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File "<string>", line 1 , b = b, a+bn ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? Could anybody help me out by either pointing to a tutorial that deals with this type of embedding to point out my mistakes in the code! Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
