In my application embedding Python I want to have the standard Python module path, so I try to achieve this by setting the program path to that of the the interpreter. Even though I call Py_SetProgramName before Py_InitializeEx, however, Python thinks the program path (as returned by Py_GetProgramFullPath) is that of my embedding executable.
I would love if someone could explain what is going wrong here, and eventually provide a better solution for inheriting the Python interpreter's standard module path. Test application demonstrating the problem. #include <Python.h> int main() { // Hardcoded for simplicity Py_SetProgramName("C:\\Python26\\python.exe"); Py_InitializeEx(0); printf("Program path: %s\n", Py_GetProgramFullPath()); Py_Finalize(); return 0; } Thanks, Arve Knudsen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
