You passed Py_eval_input as the start token to Py_CompileString. That means you want to evaluate a single expression and an 'if' statement isn't an expression. Use Py_file_input to compile a module or Py_single_input for a single statement. Have you looked at using Pyrex? It makes this kind of task really easy: you just define a Pyrex function callable from C which imports and calls whatever Python code you want. All the work of allocating and releasing Python objects gets done for you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
