Memory Management in Embedded Python

[Huayang Xia]

Hi there,

I have a piece of code like this:

      void funct(PyObject* pyobj)
      {
         char   str[128];
         strncpy(str, "just a test string", sizeof(str));
         PyObject* pydata = PyObject_CallMethod(pyobj, "method_x",
"s", str);
         Py_DECREF(pydata);
      }

After the function is exited, the str is not there anymore. Will this
affect python operation. How does python use the str? It's copied or it
just uses the pointer?

Thanks in advance.
