Importing a String as a Module

[bmatt]

Hello All,

I would like to import an internal string as a module into the python
interpreter. Unfortunately it looks like all of the PyImport functions
only take a module name and load the module from the .py file. Is
there a way to import a module from a string (similar to the way the
PyRun_String function works)? I have tried to use the PyRun_String
function and then use PyImport_AddModule but it doesn't look like the
things defined in the string are in the module dictionary.

Thanks

Make an empty module first (PyImport_AddModule shd be OK), get its
dictionary, run the string with that dictionary as its globals and
locals.
