Title Body

I'm embedding Python into a C/C++ application that will have a defined API. The application needs to instantiate classes defined in a script, which are structured roughly like this: class userscript1: def __init__(self): ##do something here... def method1(self): ## method that can be called by the C/C++ app...etc I've managed in the past (for the proof-of-concept) to get this done using the following type of code: PyObject* pName = PyString_FromString("userscript.py"); PyObject* pModule = PyImport_Import(pName); PyObject* pDict = PyModule_GetDict(pModule); PyObject* pClass = PyDict_GetItemString(pDict, "userscript"); PyObject* scriptHandle = PyObject_CallObject(pClass, NULL); Now that I'm in more of a production environment, this is failing at the PyImport_Import line - I think this might be because I'm trying to prepend a directory to the script name, e.g. PyObject* pName = PyString_FromString("E:\\scriptlocation\\userscript.py"); Now, to give you an idea of what I've tried, I tried modifying the system path before all of these calls to make it search for this module. Basically tried modifying sys.path programmatically: PyObject* sysPath = PySys_GetObject("path"); PyObject* path = PyString_FromString(scriptDirectoryName); int result = PyList_Insert(sysPath, 0, path); These lines run ok, but have no effect on making my code work. Obviously, my real code has a boatload of error checking that I have excluded so don't worry about that! So my question: how do I direct the embedded interpreter to my scripts appropriately so that I can instantiate the classes?
