No. Not as such. But you could use PyRun_String, or PyRun_StringFlags. You could then access the globals object, but I ask you, why would you want to bind the object to a name in the first place? Use the fact that PyRun_String returns a reference to the result of an expression! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
