Hi All, I have an application with an embedded python interpreter and i need to get the embedded interpreter to "import" strangely named files as python modules.
Anyhow the simple part of the question is: How do i convert a _node* object returned from: PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlagsFilename() into a code object i can use as a module to import with: PyImport_ExecCodeModule() I cant seem to find any documentation about this. If you are wondering why i want to do this, then you can read on and maybe there is a much better way to achieve what i am after. Thanks, Brendon ----- What i am trying to achieve ----- Basically i want to "import" using the python C API a module from various files which may have names that do not make valid python module names. In particular i have an embedded python interpreter that is used to apply a number of operations on some data based on a user supplied "suppressions file" (*.eds). This .eds file is just a python source file designed only to be used from within this application. Now the names of these suppression files usually matche that of a library or application to which they will apply to. For example: libstdc++.so.6.0.5 : has eds file: libstdc++.so.6.0.5.eds Now i want to have my code import this eds file as a python module so that i can then use it as any other standard python module. So i need to separate the name of the module from the name of the file. I was thinking for example for the above filename i would give it a module name like: libstdc___so_6_0_5 (The name is not important just that the above one is a valid module name from what i understand and it is based on the original name) So i have some random file: /foo/bar/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.5.eds and i want to be able to import that as a module using the Python C API so native python code can access the module like: libstdc___so_6_0_5.PostCalculation() If you have any better method of doing this, i would love to know what it is. Thanks in advance for any help, Brendon. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
