Your code should check every operation for errors. fopen may return NULL,  
Py_CompileString may fail and return NULL, PyMarshal_xxx might fail  
(although it's not documented).

Why "123.pyc"? Do you want to generate a compiled module? Use the  
py_compile standard module instead (or write equivalent C code, or see how  
import.c does that)
