error C3861: 'Py_InitModule'
Hi All, Using python 3.0, VS2005, WinXP SP3 I know this looks like a simple one but i just installed Python 3.0 (no other Python installations etc) and I'm trying to convert my perfectly working 2.5 C code for an embedded interpreter to 3.0. I've changed all of my string functions etc to remove those errors and I've studied the doc's and searched but I'm still getting the error regarding Py_InitModule, it's as if it no longer exists but I can't find anything different in the doc's. My intellisense and all works fine and all the other python functions are fine, just this one, does anyone have any ideas? Have I missed a change that has not made it to the doc's?? thanks, Mick. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: error C3861: 'Py_InitModule'
Ok, I found the reason, you now need to do a bit more work and use PyModule_Create(). Also, for anyone else that may stumble on this, you need to refer to the online Dev doc's that get updated regularly (which I regrettably forgot about) which are here -> http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/ thanks, Mick. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
embedded python in dll with C
Hi All,
I can't quite get my head around embedding Python in a C app and I
have a few questions if I may, here is the background.
I want to create a dll plugin that has the Python interpreter embedded
in it for use in scripting an established application. So far I have
created the interface dll and py module using swig. So far so good,
now some questions -
1) Would it be best to combine my swig generated .c file into the same
dll as my plugin dll or leave it seperate, in other words should I
just embed the interpreter into the C 'plugin' dll and create the
interface module and dll seperately to import into python scripts?
2) Once I have done this would it be appropriate just to use something
like this in my C code -
PyRun_SimpleString("import my_plugin_script");
PyRun_SimpleString("init_func_from_script()");
where 'init_func_from_script' establishes callbacks for C to use from
the script using the new interface module/dll? The C application has
it's own functions for registering callbacks by passing in a list of
the functions, I'm hoping this will work.
I'll give it a go in the mean time, just looking for the right/better
way to do this, thanks.

Python command line error
Hi All, I've installed Python 2.5 on a number of machines but on one I'm having problems with the CLI. If I fire up the 'cmd' dos box and type 'python' I get a line of gibberish and it locks up the cli, if I run the 'command' dos box I get a few lines of garbage and it crashes/closes the dos box. I've tried a re-install, checked my system paths etc but I can't get it to work, it works ok for running scripts from a dbl click in explorer for instance and from Idle, I just can't run scripts from the command line. I have installed - xp pro sp2 Python25 wxPython2.8 unicode PIL numpy any clues to what's causing this behavior? tia, Mick. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I have cygwin on this machine also and the cygwin/bin path was before the Python25 path so it was playing up, I put the Python25 path before the cygwin stuff and it's fixed. It's always something simple! Cheers, Mick. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Error with Simplemapi.py

First of all, thanks to all involved, this looks like what I need
without re-inventing the wheel.
Sorry to Ian if he just recieved 2 emails, my bad, I need to learn how
to use this board better!
I have a small problem. I get an error I don't know how to resolve,
any help would be much appreciated.
I'm using Python25 on winXP pro and the script from the link above.
Here's the error -
>>> mailtest.SendMail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','test','test string','c:\dbs.txt')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
mailtest.SendMail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','test','test string','c:
\dbs.txt')
File "C:\Python25\mailtest.py", line 135, in SendMail
cast(NULL, lpMapiRecipDesc), RecipCnt, recip,
File "C:\Python25\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 478, in cast
return _cast(obj, obj, typ)
ArgumentError: argument 1: : wrong type
>>>
I have had a brief look at the C api for these structs and functions
but I can't resolve it, it is probably something simple.
The piece of code I don't understand though is this -
MapiRecipDesc_A = MapiRecipDesc * len(RecipWork) #size of struct??
rda = MapiRecipDesc_A() # isn't it MapiRecipDesc as declared??
There's some new stuff going on here I don't understand.
thanks for your help,
Mick.

Thank you very much Gabriel, changing the NULL to None did the trick
(it also helps if I reload the changed module after editing!:( ). Yes
that is an old script and I will look into your suggestions. Basically
I'd just like to use the default mail client (windows or Unix/Linux)
to send simple mail with attachments, this way I can log the
attachments I send to a db for example for document transmittal/
register reports etc.
Thanks also for the code explanations,
Cheers,
Mick.
