I am extending python with C and trying to debug with printf. The code below succssfully returns the string "hello" when compiled and called, but the "can print from in here phrase" does not reach python stdout. Is there something screwy with my environment or is there some trick to this that I don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#include <Python.h>

static PyObject* helloworld(PyObject* self) { printf("can print from in here?"); return Py_BuildValue("s", "hello"); }

It'll probably work if you add a line break there. It's likely just sitting in a buffer waiting to be flushed. -bob
