Python in a Nutshell

Name

PyModule_AddStringConstant

Synopsis

int PyModule_AddStringConstant(PyObject* module,char* name,char* value)

Adds to module module an attribute named name with string value value.

Some module initialization operations may be conveniently performed by executing Python code with PyRun_String, covered later in Section 24.3.4, with the module’s dictionary as both the globals and locals argument. If you find yourself using PyRun_String extensively, rather than just as an occasional convenience, consider the possibility of splitting your extension module in two: a C-coded extension module offering raw, fast functionality, and a Python module wrapping the C-coded extension to provide further convenience and handy utilities.

When you do need to get a module’s dictionary, use the PyModule_GetDict function.
