Help with embedded python - TheGreatMonkey - Jul-07-2018

I'm working on embedding python 3.6 into a C++ application.

To get the hang of how all this works I'm writing a function that simply posts a message to the debug log (as well as on screen). I've successfully exposed the function to python.

import test
test.debug("This is a debug Message")

The above will successfully call the function...however I can't seem to figure out how to get the argument back from python

My bindings look like this:

//Bindings to allow Python scripts to post Log infos
static PyObject* DebugInfo(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
	std::string message = <MAGIC SHOULD HAPPEN HERE>;
	LOGINFO(message.c_str());
	return 0;
}
static PyMethodDef DebugInfo_Method[] =
{
	{ "Debug_Info", DebugInfo, METH_VARARGS,
          "Post message as Debug Info" },
{ NULL, NULL, 0, NULL }
};
//End of Log Infos Binding

//Define Python Modue and link to bindings
static PyModuleDef test =
{
	PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT, "DebugInfo", NULL, -1, DebugInfo_Method,
	NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
};

static PyObject* PyInit_test(void)
{
	return PyModule_Create(&test);
};

I may have done this completely wrong, I'm extremely new to working with python and c++.
