As best I could figure, I needed to write Python code, execute a script file,
get that code to call a C function that I register, in order to have that
function. At least the tutorial implied that was the way.
Gustavo gives a better approach. Thanks.

I'm reading the Python extension tutorial, and I cannot believe the embedding
section. It tells me the only way to call a python function is to callout to
python to pass back a function object which I then save so I can call it when I
need to. This seems ridiculous. Surely there is a way to obtain Python
function objects without going through that! Does somebody have a way to ask
for a function by name?
PyObject *function_object = PyObject_GetAttrString (PyModule_Import
("modulename"), "function_name");
Leaks a module object reference, but you get the idea...
