Hi, Regarding your other question: "how to embed PyPy in C/C++ application", missing _Py_Initialize. It's not supported for now but could be, given enough work.
Here is an alternative, assuming that you don't need to have an interface compatible with CPython (the PyXxx functions). We could come up with some cffi-based solution (http://cffi.readthedocs.org/). For example, with minimal amount of work, we could give you the possibility to do something like this: * The C/C++ code loads "libpypy-c.dll" and calls some function 'initialize("initial_script.py")'. (Or, running on CPython, it would load "libpython27.dll" and call _PyInitialize(); PyRun_File("initial_script.py");.) * initial_script.py uses CFFI in a slightly different way than documented above (the other way around, basically): it declares a C interface, but with C functions that end up calling back into Python. (These C functions themselves are not meant to be called *from* Python.) * Then initial_script.py finishes and returns the name of the library built by "ffi.verify()". * The C/C++ side then loads and uses that library --- a regular-looking C library with whatever custom C API that you declared above. The trick is that this lets you write a regular library that can be called from C, with the C API you choose, but *implemented as Python code*. I imagine that this could be generally interesting. A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
