Yes, the call to PyImport_Import fails and returns a NULL. You could use
the more complete example at
http://docs.python.org/extending/embedding.html which includes some
error handling...

Anyways, apparently PyImport_Import can't import from the current
working directory but with parameters like math sqrt 2 it returns the
square root of 2. Setting PYTHONPATH to point to the working directory
works for me, but I don't know if there's a more correct solution.
