Overview
This example was built under Linux...
Examples
Simple
Makefile
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
all:
gcc -I /usr/local/include/python2.5 -fPIC -c test.c
gcc -shared -o test.so test.o
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
clean:
-/bin/rm -rf *.o
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
test.c
Note, on the system this demo was implemented on a version of Python 2.5 had been built from source and installed into /usr/local, so Python.h and other Python header files were located in /usr/local/include/python2.5/
#include "Python.h"

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
static PyMethodDef TestMethods[] = {
{"system", test_system, METH_VARARGS, "Execute a shell command."},
{NULL, NULL, 0, NULL} /* Sentinel */
};
