Looking at \python-2.1\python\pythonrun.c:
--
int
PyRun_SimpleString(char *command)
{
	PyObject *m, *d, *v;
	m = PyImport_AddModule("__main__");
	if (m == NULL)
		return -1;
	d = PyModule_GetDict(m);
	v = PyRun_String(command, Py_file_input, d, d);
	if (v == NULL) {
		PyErr_Print();
		return -1;
	}
	Py_DECREF(v);
	if (Py_FlushLine())
		PyErr_Clear();
	return 0;
}

I would model the code after that. You say you have the directories, and Py_file_input
is the  constant from Python.h, so capture v and do the right thing (note the decref), IWG ;-)
