The easiest way is this:
PyRun_SimpleString("TestFunction()");

If you need to get return values back or if you want to run the code in other than the "__main__" module, you can use PyRun_String.  If you need to pass in PyObjects to a function instead of just running a string, then you need to use PyObject_CallFunction.

PyRun_String and PyRun_SimpleString are described here:

PyObject_CallFunction is described here:
