Calling C functions with PyObjects - jibarra - Jul-16-2019
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 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
I am referencing:
https://docs.python.org/3.6/extending/embedding.html#pure-embedding
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?
RE: Calling C functions with PyObjects - Gribouillis - Jul-17-2019
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 toname = 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.
RE: Calling C functions with PyObjects - Gribouillis - Jul-17-2019
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?
