Invalid Syntax

[mamta_parida]

Hello Everyone,

As I'm new to python, i tried some script but while running that script getting an error i.e. "There's an error in your program: invalid syntax" for PyObject*. Any one faced same issue please reply back.

spammodul.c

#include <Python.h>

static PyObject *
spam_system(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
const char *command;
int sts;

if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s", &command))
return NULL;
sts = system(command);
return PyLong_FromLong(sts);
}

python script
import spam
status = spam.system("ls -l")

Thanks and Regards
Mamta Parida

What's the whole error?
And what's the whole spammodul.c?

Please post the code in Python code tags, and full error message in error tags. Use ctrl+shift+v when you copy code, so indentation is preserved. You can find help here.

The error which i received is mentioned below

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Python\Git\python-c-extension-master\00-HelloWorld\test.py", line 3, in <module>
import helloworld
ImportError: No module named helloworld

when i'm executing the test.py file this error is displaying on to the python script. Request you to provide any solution for it why this is happening. Any compiler i need to install on my system

Please don't pm. The whole point of a forum is so that if someone else has a similar issue, they can find the solution easily.

The code you posted in your first message is NOT python but C. If you try running it as a python program you get syntax errors!

ImportError: No module named helloworld

The error message is rather clear in my opinion: you try importing a python module called "helloworld" but it doesn't exist or it is not in a place that can be found by python.

Obviously OP is learning/trying to build Python C extension.
Rest of @squenson's comment apply - i.e. no spam module (post#1) or helloworld module (post#4)
