Having seen the number of lost souls asking questions about embedding
Python in the archives of this group, I hesitate to add myself to
their number, but I've hit a problem I can't quite get my head around.
I have a simple C program that embeds a python interpreter to execute
python commands and return stdout, and to a point everything works as
intended. The problem that each command seems to be executed in its
own context and knows nothing of what's come before. So if enter
"print 2+2", I get back "4", but if I enter "a=2+2" then enter "print
a", I get back the error, "a is undefined." My guess is that this has
something to calling PyRun_SimpleStr ing inside of a child process, but
I can't get much further than this.
Any assistance is appreciated.
thanks

Take a look at Python-2.3.2/Demo/embed/demo.c in the Python source
code distribution for clues. That program calls
PyRun_SimpleStr ing() several times with the same context. If you
do not switch interpreters (thread state, whatever) or
re-initialize etc, then each call to PyRun_SimpleStr ing() should
have the same global variables etc.
Why are you calling fork()? Someone else will have to tell you
the consequences of doing that.

Thanks for your reply. I agree that PyRun_SimpleStr ing should be
running in the same context-- its worked that way for me in the past--
The only thing that's different this time is fork() and that's what
I'm hoping someone will tell me how to deal with, since I'm stuck with
it this time.
I'm updating the subject line to something more descriptive.
thanks

What you are doing won't work -- fork() behaves as though it makes a
copy of all the data in the current process's address spaces, so changes
in the child aren't mirrored in the parent.
Example C program:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int i = 0;
void increment_i_in_ forked_subproce ss() {
pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid == -1) {
perror("fork"); exit(1);
}
if (pid == 0) {
i++;
printf("In subprocess %d, i=%d\n", getpid(), i);
exit(0);
}
wait(NULL);
printf("Subproc ess exited\n");
}
int main(void) {
int j;
for(j=0; j<10; j++) {
increment_i_in_ forked_subproce ss();
}
return 0;
}
$ gcc orcutt.c && ./a.out

If one were writing a C interpreter, is there anything in the standard
standard that requires the sizeof operator to yield the same value for
two different variables of the same type?
Let's assume that the interpreter does conform to the range values
for, say, type int, but allocates storage for the variables based
on their value. So, for two variables foo and bar
