[C++-sig] cannot import module

[Atri, Sunil]

Some more info regarding the actual code itself

 

There are the only two changes I have made to the original source files.

 

/Modules/Setup.local

 

# Edit this file for local setup changes

spam spammodule.o

 

 

Added the spammodule.c file to the /Modules directory

 

 

spammodule.c

 

#include <Python.h>

 

static PyObject *

spam_system(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)

{

    const char *command;

    int sts;

 

    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s", &command))

        return NULL;

    sts = system(command);

    return Py_BuildValue("i", sts);

}

 

 

static PyMethodDef SpamMethods[] = {

    {"system",  spam_system, METH_VARARGS, "Execute a shell command."},

    {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}        /* Sentinel */

};

 

 

PyMODINIT_FUNC

initspam(void)

{

    (void) Py_InitModule("spam", SpamMethods);

}

 

Thank you

Sunil

Following the instructions on the documentation page, I placed the
example code "spammodule.c" in the /Modules directory, After compiling I
changed to this directory and started python there. I assume that makes
/Modules my current directory. But I am not sure.  Spammodule.o is
present in the /Modules directory.

After browsing around for a while I also used the
sys.path.append("/root/Python-2.5/Modules"). This did not seem to have
any effect, as I got the same result.

 

/root/Python-2.5 is where I have unzipped the source file. I am using
Linux (Fedora).

 

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Sunil

Is the file you're trying to import in your search path or current
directory?

This is not strictly a C++ question, but I did not find a C forum. I
have trying to compile and install the example given here 

 

http://docs.python.org/ext/simpleExample.html

 

I was able to compile, but when try to import I get the following
message 

 

>>> import spam

Traceback <most recent call last>:

   File "stdin", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: No module named spam

 

I assume when adding a C function to python this is as simple as it
gets, but I am not having much luck. I am also new to python.

 

Thanks

Sunil
