Embedded Python interpreter and sockets

[wahn at acm.org]

Hey Chris,

I fixed the problem in another way (don't ask me why that works). One
detail I didn't talk about is that I use the Boost.Python library. So I
just made sure that I load the socket module before I import my own
Python script (using that socket module):

...
  object
main_module((handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__")))));
  object
socket_module((handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("socket")))));
  object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");
  handle<>
    result((allow_null(PyRun_String("...",
				    Py_file_input,
				    main_namespace.ptr(),
				    main_namespace.ptr()))));
...

Maybe someone can shed some light on what's going on here but for the
moment I'm happy that it works at all !!!

Cheers,

Jan
