Python Embedding in C++ : ImportError: No module named pyfunction

Question

Hi I\'m trying to embed python (2.7) into C++ (g++ 4.8.2) and hence call a python function from C++. This is the basic code provided in python documentation for embedding:

Answer 1

Try this one:

 $ PYTHONPATH=. ./call_function pyfunction multiply 2 3

if this won't work, try to make __init__.py file in this directory and try again.

UPDATE:

I think that PYTHONPATH is temporary solution, to test stuff. If you want to have a directory when all your embedded modules lives you have to put in your embedded interpreter something equilevant to this:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "./path/to/your/modules/")

You can do it probably in python in your interpreter or on C level. This will add search path in very similar manner as PYTHONPATH but it is more persistant and elegant (IMHO).
