Here's what I said for Python 1.5.2 on Win32 #0
PyRun_SimpleFile, PyRun_File and other functions that take a FILE * are not
usable on WIN32 from non-VC applications because python15.dll is statically
linked to the MS runtime DLL. Embedding applications that try to use these
functions are passing in FILE * structures that do not match MS's runtime
format.
For example, I'm using Python in a Borland C++ Builder application. Although I
can open a FILE *, when passed to python15.dll the FILE * is not usable.
The addition of two helper functions would solve this problem:
FILE * PyRun_OpenFile(char *file, char *mode)
{
return fopen(file,mode)
}
int PyRun_CloseFile(FILE *ptr)
{
return fclose(ptr)
}
This way embedding apps could get python15.dll to open the file and it would
work.
A temporary workaround is to always load the .pyc file in PyRun_SimpleFile..
