The code is run in the context of the __main__ module. So you could do something like this: PyObject *m, *d, *v, *value; m = PyImport_AddModule("__main__"); if (m == NULL) return -1; d = PyModule_GetDict(m); value = PyDict_GetItemString(d, "a") (The code above is mostly copied from PyRun_SimpleStringFlags) You may find other variants of PyRun_XXX more convenient to use. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
