[Python.NET] exposing modules

[Matthew Pontefract]

Hi Haran

It sounds almost as though the Python.Runtime.dll, though added to your
project, is not listed as a reference for the code you're compiling. In
Visual Studio 2005 (the only one of which I have experience) you'd click
References and add a new one (navigating to the dll). If using nant, the
<csc> element needs a child element <references> containing an <include
name="Python.Runtime.dll"/>. 

Once done, and assuming you have not omitted the using statement in your
code (and not mis-spelled the package name) I would hope your code would
compile.

I appologise if I'm merely stating the obvious here - your email didn't
have a huge amount to go on so I'm just running down the list of things
I personally would check first! If you still have trouble, let us know
how you are building your code etc. and I'll try and help further :)

Kind regards
Matthew

Hi,

I am trying to achieve the first step still - of emedding the python
interpreter within my .NET application and am kind of stuck there. 

Here's what I did:

1) Added "Python.Runtime.dll" to the build (of .NET project).

2) Added the following line in the constructor:
   PythonEngine.Initialize();

This gives me the following errors:
error C2065: 'PythonEngine' : undeclared identifier
error C2228: left of '.Initialize' must have class/struct/union type
        type is ''unknown-type''

What other step have I missed ?

Thanks
