Problem with C-API

[John Dean]

Hi

I spent the whole of yesterday trying the get the following C code to
execute

PyRun_String("def title();", Py_file_input, dict, dict);
PyRun_String("\treturn 'Foo Bar'", Py_file_input, dict, dict);
PyRun_String("x = title()", Py_file_input, dict, dict);
PyObject * result = PyRun_String("print x", Py_file_input, dict, dict);
printf( "The result is %s\n", PyObject_AsString( result );

Each line throws an error.

Could somebody tell what is wrong with the above code.

Here below is the output from my test app

Starting Test ......

The file "testtitle" is open for reading

The variable codeStrings contains

Line 0  def title()
Line 1      return "Foo Bar"

The variable scriptText contains

def title()
    return "Foo Bar"

The variable tempList contains

Line 0  testtitle
Line 1  title

Module Name is  testtitle

Function Name is  title

The variable functionCode contains

def title()
    return "Foo Bar"

Python initialized successfully

Module object successfully created

Dict object successfully created

Failed to create a Result object.

The title of the this task is  <nil>
