[C++-sig] embedded python ?

[mad city]

Thanks. Good advice.

>From the quickstart project, the embedded.cpp file function


void exec_file_test(std::string const &script)
{
    std::cout << "running file " << script << "..." << std::endl;

    // Run a python script in an empty environment.
    python::dict global;
    python::object result = python::exec_file(script.c_str(), global,
global);

    // Extract an object the script stored in the global dictionary.
    BOOST_TEST(python::extract<int>(global["number"]) ==  42);

    std::cout << "success!" << std::endl;
}

calls my python script file - parseLogs.py which starts with

import os.path
import stat
import csv
import re
import pickle
import operator
import time
import msvcrt
from optparse import OptionParser
import sys

The 'import' call throws the exception - ImportError: __import__ not found.
I'm looking into the PyInitialize() and how the interpreter gets loaded.

Thanks.
