callling python function in c

[masood shaik]

Hi

  I am trying to call python function from c code.The following
program i got from the web source while i am trying to run this
program it throws an segmentation fault.I am working on Ubuntu 10.10
version.Can anyone guide me please

The following program

call_function.c
// call_function.c - A sample of calling python functions from C code
//
#include <Python.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int i;
	PyObject *pName, *pModule, *pDict, *pFunc, *pArgs, *pValue;

	if (argc < 3)
	{
		printf("Usage: exe_name python_source function_name\n");
		return 1;
	}

	// Initialize the Python Interpreter
	Py_Initialize();

	// Build the name object
	pName = PyString_FromString(argv[1]);

	// Load the module object
	pModule = PyImport_Import(pName);

	// pDict is a borrowed reference
	pDict = PyModule_GetDict(pModule);

	// pFunc is also a borrowed reference
	pFunc = PyDict_GetItemString(pDict, argv[2]);

	if (PyCallable_Check(pFunc))
	{
		// Prepare the argument list for the call
		if( argc > 3 )
		{
    			pArgs = PyTuple_New(argc - 3);
    			for (i = 0; i < argc - 3; i++)
    			{
					pValue = PyInt_FromLong(atoi(argv[i + 3]));
        			if (!pValue)
        			{
						PyErr_Print();
             			return 1;
        			}
        			PyTuple_SetItem(pArgs, i, pValue);
    			}

				pValue = PyObject_CallObject(pFunc, pArgs);

				if (pArgs != NULL)
				{
					Py_DECREF(pArgs);
				}
		} else
		{
				pValue = PyObject_CallObject(pFunc, NULL);
		}

		if (pValue != NULL)
		{
			printf("Return of call : %ld\n", PyInt_AsLong(pValue));
			Py_DECREF(pValue);
		}
		else
		{
			PyErr_Print();
		}
	} else
	{
		PyErr_Print();
	}

	// Clean up
	Py_DECREF(pModule);
	Py_DECREF(pName);

	// Finish the Python Interpreter
	Py_Finalize();

	return 0;
}

def multiply():
    c = 12345*6789
    print 'The result of 12345 x 6789 :', c
    return c

def multiply1(a,b):
    c = a*b
    print 'The result of', a, 'x', b, ':', c
    return c
