[Boost-users] Re: [Python] Embedding and Extending problem

I've tried to merge the Boost.Python tutorials for embedding and extending (see below), to end up with an executable that does both. The script fails to import "hello", so BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE is presumably not the correct way to do it. What is?

Thanks, Keith MacDonald

====== The C++ code ====== #include

using namespace boost::python;

char const* greet() { return "hello, embedded world"; }

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello) { def("greet", greet); }

int main() { Py_Initialize();

object main_module(( handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__")))));

object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");

try { handle<> ignored((PyRun_String( "import hello\n"

I think you need something like: if (PyImport_AppendInittab("hello", init_hello) == -1) throw std::runtime_error("Failed to add embedded_hello to the interpreter's builtin modules"); after Py_Initialize - Volodya
