Hello,
I have written a c++ library which embeds python functions as described in
http://docs.python.org/extending/embedding.html. Everything works fine, I can
import and use modules such as numpy by calling PyImport_ImportModule(...).
Now I wrapped this c++ library for java using SWIG. However, when running
inside this wrapper, an attempt to import numpy fails:
PyObject *numpy_module = PyImport_ImportModule("numpy");
returns NULL for numpy_module.
I guess I have a similar problem as described in
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-integratepython.html. It seems
that since python 2.3 it is complicated to nest a module import in an embedded
python environment. I don't understand the details of their explanations and I
cannot use their solution to simulate the java executable, because the library
is supposed to be part of an existing java framework.
Is there a possibility to import numpy from python2.6, embedded in a c++
library, which is dynamically loaded from java? I am working on Debian linux,
if this matters.
Regards
Jeff
