I tested fontforge. It became clear to me that the fontforge must be able to call Py_Initialize() and only later call Py_Main(). fontforge calls Py_Initialize() and then uses the Python API: /* This is called to start up the embedded python interpreter */ void FontForge_InitializeEmbeddedPython(void) { // static int python_initialized is declared above. if ( python_initialized ) return; SetPythonProgramName("fontforge"); RegisterAllPyModules(); Py_Initialize(); python_initialized = 1; /* The embedded python interpreter is now functionally * "running". We can modify it to our needs. */ CreateAllPyModules(); InitializePythonMainNamespace(); } Py_Main() is called after FontForge_InitializeEmbeddedPython(). To be clear, Py_Main() must be fixed in Python 3.7 to apply properly the new configuration, or *at least* define sys.argv. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34008> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
