Accessing dyn modules from embedded python

[Max Ischenko]

Hi.

I'm trying to embed Python into my application.
The smoke test already works, I've managed to call a pure python function
from my C++ code.

But, an error occurred when I tried this:

# -- my python module used by C++ program --
def translate(data):
	return unicode(data, 'koi8-r').encode('cp1251')

$ PYTHONPATH=`pwd` ./translator
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/max/projects/e2u/express2u.py", line 2, in ?
    import codecs
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/codecs.py", line 10, in ?
    import struct, __builtin__
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/struct.so: undefined symbol: PyString_Type
Aborted (core dumped)


The translator is build with

PY_CONFIG = /usr/lib/python2.2/config
PY_CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/python2.2/ -g
PY_LDFLAGS = -lpthread -ldl -lutil

translator: translator.cpp TranslationService.o
	$(CXX) $(PY_LDFLAGS) -g -o $@ $^ $(PY_CONFIG)/libpython2.2.a

TranslationService.o: TranslationService.cpp TranslationService.h
	$(CXX) $(PY_CFLAGS) -Wall -c TranslationService.cpp -o TranslationService.o



Another related question:  I want to deploy my C++ app with embedded
Python on machines where no Python is installed. How should bundle other
modules I'm interested in (like locale, codecs, etc.)?


Btw, If I doesn't specify PYTHONPATH the translator can't find the module.
Why is this?
