This directory show how to embed the Python interpreter in your own application. The file demo.c shows you all that is needed in your C code. To build it, you may have to edit the Makefile: 1) set blddir to the directory where you built Python, if it isn't in the source directory (../..) 2) change the variables that together define the list of libraries (MODLIBS, LIBS, SYSLIBS) to link with, to match their definitions in $(blddir)/Modules/Makefile An additional test program, loop.c, is used to experiment with memory leakage caused by repeated initialization and finalization of the interpreter. It can be build by saying "make loop" and tested with "make looptest". Command line usage is "./loop <python-command>", e.g. "./loop 'print 2+2'" should spit out an endless number of lines containing the number 4.
