Calling C from Python

[Rich Somerfield]

Thanks for the info.

I attempted to complete the Calling Python from C [Demo/embed/demo.c] but
couldnt get it to compile.  Could u please help me with the command?
I was trying [on Unix] :
cc -o new

new.c -I/opt/Python-2.0/Include -I/opt/Python-2.0 -L/opt/Python-2.0 -L/opt/P
ython-2.0/Lib -L/opt/Python-2.0/Modules -lpython2.0

Where new.c is a copy of the demo.c file.

Regards
Rich
