With the help of PyErr_Print() I have it solved. Here is the final code (the
part relevant to sents):
Py_ssize_t listIndex = 0;
pListItem = PyList_GetItem(pFileIds, listIndex);
pListStrE = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(pListItem, "UTF-8", "strict");
pListStr = PyBytes_AS_STRING(pListStrE); // Borrowed pointer
// Then: sentences = gutenberg.sents(fileid) - this is a sequence item
PyObject *c_args = Py_BuildValue("s", pListStr);
PyObject *args_tuple = PyTuple_New(1);
PyTuple_SetItem(args_tuple, 0, c_args);
pSents = PyObject_CallObject(pSentMod, args_tuple);
if ( pSents == 0x0){
PyErr_Print();
return return_value; }
As you mentioned yesterday, CallObject needs a tuple, so that was the problem.
Now it works.
You also asked why I don't just use pListStrE. I tried that and got a long
error message from PyErr_Print. I'm not far enough along in my C_API work to
understand why, but it doesn't work.
Thanks very much for your help on this.
