embedded python example: PyString_FromString doesnt work?

[Brano Zarnovican]

Hi David !

I cannot see anything wrong on your code. So, I'm posting my working
example.

Hint: try to determine, why it is returning NULL (the PyErr_Print()
call)

#include <Python.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    PyObject *s;
    int ret;

    if (argc < 2)
        return -1;

    Py_Initialize();

    s = PyString_FromString(argv[1]);
    if (s == NULL) {
        PyErr_Print();
        return -1;
    }
    ret = PyObject_Print(s, stdout, 0);
    Py_XDECREF(s);
    if (ret < 0) {
        PyErr_Print();
        return -1;
    }

    return 0;
}

$ cc test_String.c -o test_String -I /usr/include/python2.3 -lpython2.3
$ ./test_String
$ ./test_String hello
'hello'
