I am using Python3.6:

[jibarra@redsky ~]$ python3.6
Python 3.6.8 (default, Apr 25 2019, 21:02:35) 
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)] on linux

Is there a way to call a C function in the same file using PyObjects?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Can you explain the question? From the C file, you can call C functions as in any other C program. There is no problem at all.

Can I use PyImport_Import to import a C file, then call a C function within that file with a PyObject?

PyImport_Import() is only a way to run a python import statement from C. I think

PyRun_SimpleString("import foo");

is more or less equivalent to

name = PyUnicode_FromString('foo');
PyImport_Import(name);

although from my experience, calling the python import statement is more robust.

Example:
File1.c:
Init Pyobjects
Call File2 Function:

File2.c:
Some function.

If you want to call a function from another C file, I think you can simply compile the file as a shared library and link the library with your extension module.

I have created a shared library. Can I then call those function in the library with PyObjects?
