Python Embedding Help...

Hi I usually programme in Python. In the help files, theres an example on how to embed Python into a C command-line app.
How ever when I try it I get many errors.

Code:

---

#include <Python.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Py_Initialize();
  PyRun_SimpleString("from time import time,ctime\n"
                    "print 'Today is',ctime(time())\n");
  Py_Finalize();
  return 0;
}

I get the error "undefined referrence to imp_py_finalize"

So I searched a lot. I finnaly found the answer. It said that the linker cant find the Python
library file. So I copied that file to my Lib folder. Now I get this error

Quote:

---

"gcc: -lobjc: linker input file unused since linking not done"

---

I'm using Dev-Cpp as my IDE and the GCC version that comes with Dev-Cpp.
Please help!

I don't know the Dev-Cpp IDE but it looks that you're just compiling. Try building the project.

You get the "linker input file unused since linking not done" error when you put object files or libraries on a "gcc -c" line. You probably need to add it to your "link" command, rather than your "compile" command. And if the file is in a "unusual" directory, the right thing is to add "-L/somepath/somewhere" to your link command arguments. That will make the linker look in /somepath/somewhere as well as all the other "usual" places for the library files.

Since I don't use Dev-Cpp myself, I don't actually know how you go about setting those settings.
