Python Forum

In an older project of mine I used to catch exceptions in the code by doing ...

// simplified code ...
PyObject * PyRes = PyRun_String( ... )
...
PyObject* ex = PyErr_Occurred();
...
if (!PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyExc_SystemExit))
{
  // there was a non-system error
}

But now I get the error, (in VS2017)

Error:
Error	LNK2001	unresolved external symbol PyExc_SystemExit

I suspect i need to include something to my project/files?
Any suggestions as to what might be missing?

Many thanks

exceptions are used in try/except clauses

Thanks, but my question was about embedded python code, (in c++), rather than straight Python code.

OK, see that now, I'm an old C++ programmer, but it's been quite a while.
I have to pass.

I found what the issue is/was

It is a clear case of not reading the manual properly :) ...

Quote:Static library
--------------

The solution has no configuration for static libraries. However it is
easy to build a static library instead of a DLL. You simply have to set
the "Configuration Type" to "Static Library (.lib)" and alter the
preprocessor macro "Py_ENABLE_SHARED" to "Py_NO_ENABLE_SHARED". You may
also have to change the "Runtime Library" from "Multi-threaded DLL
(/MD)" to "Multi-threaded (/MT)".

Thanks for sharing.
