> Is the `code` module (http://docs.python.org/library/code.html) an insufficiently exact copy of an interpreter for you?
The problem isn't really to emulate the behavior of the interpreter as to obtain the result of the execution as a string in c++. The code module doesn't seem to help with this matter.

According to the documentation using PyFile_FromFd seems unadvised, but I'll give it a try.

Executing python in a second thread would solve this problembut our application isn't multi-threaded and executing python in another thread causes errors.
Maybe I could use a file-like object to communicate the results to my c++ application and use the code module to execute code only when the c++ application needs it.
Thanks a lot for the tips, have a nice day.
