Hello,

I would like to embed Python 3.3, I followed the simplest tutorial here: http://docs.python.org/3.3/extending/embedding.html

I'm on MacOS 10.8 which has Python 2.7 but I would like to embed the 3.3 version. I downloaded v3.3 binary distribution from python.org for Mac. I unzipped the archive, took out all the headers and "Python" dynamic library to a new folder. I then renamed the "Python" file to "python33" so that it wont collide with installed Python 2.7. So in the folder, there are:

embed.c
include (folder)
python33

Running "file python33" says:

python33 (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared

library i386 python33 (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

Something is wrong here: the library is usually called something like "libpython3.3m.a".

and embed.c is:

#include <Python.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Py_Initialize();
  PyRun_SimpleString("print 'test'\n");
  Py_Finalize();
  return 0;
}

It compiles but when I do "gcc embed.c -I./include -L. -lpython33" it breaks with:

ld: library not found for -lpython33

This would have to be -lpython3.3m or similar.

Please, does anyone know how to make it compile? I don't want to *install* Python 3.3 - is it possible to just extract the dynamic library from the binary distribution and use it, like I did above? I also tried:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="." gcc embed.c -I./include -L. -lpython33

but it doesn't work.

Please make sure that you actually have the correct library in your current directory.
