[C++-sig] A few questions about embedding python

[Nicolas Lelong]

Hi,

> ?? Do I need static linking on windows for embedding?

It seems that you answered your own question, as it runs fine with the DLL, 
embedding is OK with dynamic linking. If you absolutely need static linking 
with BPL, perhaps you could send a sample of those linking errors you 
mentionned.

You effectively have to "declare" your module by calling :

PyImport_AppendInittab("truckstate", inittruckstate);

before the Py_Initialize() call, and I think that should do the trick !

HTH,

Nicolas.
