Embedding Python

[=?iso-8859-1?q?S=E9bastien_Boisg=E9rault?=]

Hi,

Imagine that you have a PyObject pointer 'object'
pointing to a Python integer ... let's say 42.

How would do you attach the variable "answer" to
it so that the code

PyRun_SimpleString("print answer");

works as expected ?

My current solution is:

__main__ = PyImport_ImportModule("__main__");
PyObject_SetAttrString(__main__, "answer", object);

Anything better ?

You could use PyRun_String instead, which lets you
pass global and local dictionaries as context.
That may provide more fine-grained control, depending
on what you want.
