I embedded Python in an application to play with some objects. I want to add some features to my console and I don't find how to evaluate in the same way the Python console does.

I want to let the user insert a: for a in [1,2,3]:

and I want to put the '...' like the console but if I evaluate the 'for a in [1,2,3]:\n' using PyRun_SimpleString I get an error:

File "<string>", line 1 for a in [1,2,3]: ^ SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Is there any way to evaluate in the same way the console does?

I don't think you'll be able to get that type of behavior out of PyRun_SimpleString(). Try taking a look at the PyRun_Interactive*() functions and PyRun_String() with the Py_single_input start symbol. That should get you pointed in the right direction.
