Ok, so I assumed that the file, if supplied without a path, would use current working directory, which was evidently a false assumption. I put in an if statement to check to see if the pointer was null which it was. So I fully qualified the path in the test file. Now it throws an unhandled exception when it goes to execute the line with PyRun_SimpleFile. The following code yields the errors after it. #include <Python.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { FILE* fp = fopen("c:\\Patches\\Test\\Debug\\test.py","w"); if(fp == NULL) printf("error"); Py_Initialize(); PyRun_SimpleFile(fp,"test.py"); Py_Finalize(); return 0; } "First-chance exception at 0x77d2dbba in Test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000014. Unhandled exception at 0x77d2dbba in Test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000014. First-chance exception at 0x77d2dbba in Test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000014. Unhandled exception at 0x77d2dbba in Test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000014." In the debug output. This is the call stack (the first line is where execution halted). Test.exe!main(int argc=1, char** argv=0x006d1b88) Line 9 + 0x15 bytes Test.exe!__tmainCRTStartup() Line 586 + 0x19 bytes Test.exe!mainCRTStartup() Line 403 (There is more after this, but it goes back to system calls and execution is halted here so I thought this was relevant). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
