First of all: don't use the C-API! :-) Use Cython instead. It's a Python-to-C compiler that covers up all the ugly little details of talking to Python from C (importing a module is just "import module", and it even adapts to different Python versions automatically). You can keep writing Python code, and at the same time trivially use external C code. https://cython.org/ http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/tutorial/ For embedding Python in an external program (in case you really need to do that and can't live with starting Python instead of Smalltalk), here's an example: https://github.com/cython/cython/tree/master/Demos/embed It uses the "--embed" argument to Cython that generates a C (main) function to start up the CPython runtime.
