   Here is some Python code by Michael Hudson to create a new module and add
some code to it:

newm = new.module(name)
sys.modules[name] = newm
newm.__file__ = filepath
exec compile(open(filepath).read(), filepath, "exec") in \
        newm.__dict__

   You can change the open(filepath).read() to provide the code text in ay
way you want. I think you can use empty strings for the filepath variable.
Now you just have to work out how to call this from C which IIRC is well
covered in the embedding part of the "Extending and Embedding the Python
Interpreter" manual.
