Severe embedding problems - please HELP!!!

[Rodrigo B. de Oliveira]

The problem with PyRun_File might be related to the fact that the FILE
structure differs from release to debug builds (or your program might
be statically linking to the CRT)...

Anyways, the following works for me:

<snip language="C++">
#include "stdafx.h"

char* read(const char* filename)
{
	char* buffer = 0;
	FILE* file = fopen(filename, "r");
	fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END);
	size_t size = ftell(file);
	if (size)
	{
		buffer = (char*)malloc(size + 1);
		fseek(file, 0, SEEK_SET);
		size = fread(buffer, sizeof(char), size, file);
		buffer[size] = 0;
	}
	fclose(file);
	return buffer;
}


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	Py_Initialize();

	char* src = read("hello.py");
	PyRun_SimpleString(src);
	free(src);

	Py_Finalize();
	return 0;
}
</snip>
