I have already emailed about this issue, but have still not got any where. I have reduced the plugin down to its bare minimum it simple loads the the python interpreter and imports gtk library.
If i do this outside the embedded python it imports and i can use the gtk library, so why does it not work when embedded i am on ubuntu 10.10 64bit if its a specific issue on this platform. the code is below or you can get the code with the build system from the link below, obviously to see the error you need to load the plugin into geany. I am guessing this is a linking issue just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. http://ubuntuone.com/p/OhA/ #include <Python.h> /* For Python itself. This MUST come first. */ #include "geany.h" /* for the GeanyApp data type */ #include "geanyplugin.h" /* for the GeanyApp data type */ #include "plugindata.h" /* this defines the plugin API */ #define PLUGIN_NAME _("Geany Python Test") PLUGIN_VERSION_CHECK(GEANY_API_VERSION) /* All plugins must set name, description, version and author. */ PLUGIN_SET_INFO(PLUGIN_NAME, _("Test Python plugin."), _(VERSION), _("Test Author")) /* initialise the plugin */ void plugin_init(GeanyData *data){ printf("Loading the test Python module.\n"); Py_Initialize(); /* Start the Python interpreter. */ PyRun_SimpleString("import gtk"); } /* Cleanup the plugin when required */ void plugin_cleanup(void){ Py_Finalize(); } This is the error i get on loading of the plugin.
