I am new to this board and I am using Python 2.2.1 on Windows XP SP2. I am working on embedding some python functionality in a C++ win32 DLL, and I am having issues using the PyImport_ functions available in the python C API. More specifically I am trying to use Pyimport_Import Module() to import sys, and it doesn't work. I have also tried using PyString_FromSt ring() to convert the the string "sys" to a Python object to then use PyImport_Import (). Can't get it to work. The only way to properly import sys is to use PyRun_SimpleStr ing("import sys"). I think this a pretty standard question but I haven't found a definite answer yet. does the problem come from the fact that sys is a built-in module? What are the limitations on the PyImport_ functions with respect to the different types of module one could try to import? TIA.

I've never tried to do it that way. I import the low level dll into the high level (Python) module using the ctypes library. That way I get the benefits of both worlds: Low level C doing work that must be optimized or hidden and Python taking care of things like memory management and OS interface.
I am not quite sure I understand your reply!

Hi,
Can you please guide me for the following problem?
The call to "PyImport_ImportModule("cStringIO");" is failing with an error of "undefined symbol: PyObject_SelfIter".
Before importing this module, I am importing only the sys module.
Py_SetProgramName("/usr/bin/python");
Py_Initialize();
char* argv = { "python","-v",""};
PySys_SetArgv(2,argv);

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
