Calling python functions from C

[robert.differentone]

I am a newbie to Python. I want to call python functions from C. I
looked for examples but I couldn't get any simple one. Lets say my
python code is :
def add(a,b)
return (a+b)

I want to call add from C. Could anybody please help me? Thanks in
advance.

Look at the "Pure Embedding" section of the python documentation. It
contains an example program that does exactly what you want. Here is a
link to the page:

You might look at elmer <http://elmer.sourceforge.net/>

Quote:
What is elmer?
Elmer is a tool which embeds a Python module into a C, C++, or Tcl
application. The embedded Python module is used just as if it was
written in the same language as the application itself, without
requiring any knowledge of the Python/C API.

Elmer generates "glue" code that embeds an interpreter for one type of
language into an extension for another. Elmer allows function calls and
various data types, both native and custom, to pass transparently
between the two languages.
