SystemError: _PyImport_FixupExtension: module _types not loaded

2007-02-12 Thread usenet1 
I'm a newbie with hopefully an easy question.

I'm trying to write some "C" code that will run a python script that
can in turn call some "C" functions.  However I'm having a problem
getting started because although I can run a script from the python
ide that imports ctypes, when I execute that 'import ctypes' code from
the "C" code I get the following error:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "C:\Python25\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 6, in 
import os as _os, sys as _sys
  File "C:\Python25\lib\os.py", line 690, in 
import copy_reg as _copy_reg
  File "C:\Python25\lib\copy_reg.py", line 7, in 
from types import ClassType as _ClassType
  File "C:\Python25\lib\types.py", line 93, in 
import _types
SystemError: _PyImport_FixupExtension: module _types not loaded
[6569 refs]

For reference here is my code:
// pytest.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "python.h"

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
Py_Initialize();
PyRun_SimpleString("import ctypes");
Py_Finalize();
return 0;
}

This is what I get:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
['c:\\temp\\pytest\\Debug\\python25_d.zip', 'C:\\Python25\\Lib', 'C:\
\Python25\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python25\\Lib\\lib-tk', '', 'c:\\temp\\pytest\
\Debug']

In fact, the 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback happens when I
call the Py_Initialize().

As can be seen from the output, the import sys; and print sys.path
works.  I also added Py_SetProgramName(argv[0]) before calling
PyInitialize() but there was no change.

Thanks,
Steve

Thank you for your quick reply and your interest.  I had a debug
python25_d.lib/dll which i was even using to step into the code to see
why it was failing but it will take me more time to understand the
python code.  The other interesting thing I discovered when trying to
build my debug python dll with vs2005 usig the build8 solution was
that I was even getting the exact same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "C:\Python25\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 6, in 
import os as _os, sys as _sys
  File "C:\Python25\lib\os.py", line 690, in 
import copy_reg as _copy_reg
  File "C:\Python25\lib\copy_reg.py", line 7, in 
from types import ClassType as _ClassType
  File "C:\Python25\lib\types.py", line 93, in 
import _types
SystemError: _PyImport_FixupExtension: module _types not loaded

that I was getting when when trying to run the script.  I decided at
that point to go back to python2.4, actually activestate python2.4 and
then add the ctype module.  I will update this thread on my success or
failure.
Thanks,
Steve

After installing activestate python 2.4 and ctypes-1.0.1.win32-
py2.4.exe, everything just worked.  So, I decided to stay with 2.4
since I don't have time to figure out the problem.
