i switched to PyImport_ImportModuleEx per your suggestion but i still
get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name '__main__' is not defined
i tried PyRun_SimpleString("__main__.foo.baz()"); :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name '__main__' is not defined
i do not have if __name__ == '__main__':
statement anywhere in the module i'm importing,
but nevertheless i checked that PyImport_AddModule("__main__");
and subsequent getdict return non null pointers.
does non null dictionary indicate that PyImport_AddModule
succeeded as opposed to creating an empty module object?
