1 This directory show how to embed the Python interpreter in your own

     2 application.  The file demo.c shows you all that is needed in your C

     3 code.

     5 To build it, you may have to edit the Makefile:

     6 

     7 1) set blddir to the directory where you built Python, if it isn't in

     8 the source directory (../..)

     9 

    10 2) change the variables that together define the list of libraries

    11 (MODLIBS, LIBS, SYSLIBS) to link with, to match their definitions in

    12 $(blddir)/Modules/Makefile

    13 

    14 An additional test program, loop.c, is used to experiment with memory

    15 leakage caused by repeated initialization and finalization of the

    16 interpreter.  It can be build by saying "make loop" and tested with

    17 "make looptest".  Command line usage is "./loop <python-command>",

    18 e.g. "./loop 'print 2+2'" should spit out an endless number of lines

    19 containing the number 4.
