Python in a Nutshell

Name

PyRun_String

Synopsis

PyObject* PyRun_String(char* astring,int start,
PyObject* globals,PyObject* locals)

Like PyRun_File, but the source code is in null-terminated string astring.

Dictionaries locals and globals are often new, empty dictionaries (most conveniently built by Py_BuildValue("{}")) or the dictionary of a module. PyImport_Import is a convenient way to obtain an existing module object; PyModule_GetDict obtains a module’s dictionary. Sometimes you want to create a new module object on the fly and populate it with PyRun_ calls. To create a new, empty module, you can use the PyModule_New C API function.
