I tried this (PYCHECK does some error checking):

    PyObject *pymodMain;
    PyObject *pymodRe;
    Py_Initialize();
    pymodMain = PyImport_ImportModule("__main__");
    globals = PyModule_GetDict(pymodMain);
    locals = PyDict_New();
    PyRun_String("import re", Py_file_input, globals, locals);
    PYCHECK;

Then I run:
    PyRun_String("print globals()", Py_file_input, globals, locals);

and get:

{'__doc__': None, '__name__': '__main__', '__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>}

You see that 're' is not in globals. Why? How do I have to import re
such that it is available for example to string I run with
PyRun_String?
