Problem restarting the interpreter (bug?)

[Aaron Drew]

Hi,

I'm running into two problems just after running the following code C code:

void InitPython()
{
 // Initialize the Python interpreter.  Required.
 Py_Initialize();

 if(!Py_IsInitialized())
  printf("Py_Initialize() failed\n");

 // Add internal modules
 initspam();

 // Import python modules
 if(!PyImport_ImportModule("sys"))
  printf("import sys failed\n");

 if(!PyImport_ImportModule("spam"))
  printf("import spam failed\n");
}

My first problem - If I use PyEval_CallObject to call a function in module
spam, everything works fine but if I use this code then the function doesn't
get called:

 PyRun_SimpleString("spam.setstring('foo')\n");

My second problem - Restarting the interpreter. If I do:

Py_Finalize();
InitPython(); // (this is the function listed above)

I can no longer import any external modules (.py files). I have no problems
importing sys or spam but anything from the lib or current directories fail.

Any help what-so-ever with these would be appreciated. I've gone through the
python doc's and code as best I can but can't seem to figure out why this is
happening.

Regards,
Aaron
