i naively created execution context: PyObject *execcontext = PyDict_New(); stuffed a handle in it: PyObject *ih = PyCObject_FromVoidPtr(handle, NULL); int st= PyDict_SetItemString(res, "interp", ih);
and later on in a function for a module that i defined expected to extract that handle: PyObject *dict = PyEval_GetGlobals(); // or GetLocals depending on where // execcontext ended up in PyEval_EvalCode PyObject *co = PyDict_GetItemString(dict, "interp"); assert(PyCObject_Check(co)); but i get null co either way and the dict does not match execcontext that is passed into PyEval_EvalCode.
any ideas how to fix this?
in other words: is there a scope more global than a module scope? something that won't change for a given PyEval_EvalCode or a similar call. i stuffed my CObject into __main__ but in case of multiple threads or nested PyEval_EvalCode i'd have a problem with this approach.
i somehow just need to get to the pointer to the same dictionary that i passed to PyEval_EvalCode for global scope to retrieve my handle in a method of a new python type defined in C space.
thank you
