Importing modules in embedded Python

[Marcin Krol]

Hello everyone,

I can embed Python interpreter in C code now, but now there's another
problem, importing modules in Python code doesn't work:

Exception exceptions.ImportError:
'/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/timemodule.so: undefined symbol:
PyModule_AddObject' in 'garbage collection' ignored
Fatal Python error: unexpected exception during garbage collection
Aborted

The (autogenerated) C code:
---cut---
#include <Python.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <syslog.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>

void userbreak(int sig)
{
Py_Finalize();
printf("Interrupted..\n");
exit(sig);
}

void terminaterun(int sig)
{
Py_Finalize();
printf("Received SIGTERM. Terminating.\n");
exit(sig);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Py_Initialize();
PyObject *pyCode, *mainmodule, *maindict;
mainmodule = PyImport_AddModule("__main__");
maindict = PyModule_GetDict(mainmodule);
unsigned int size = 272;

pyCode = PyMarshal_ReadObjectFromString((PyObject *)
python_code, size);

(void) signal(SIGINT, userbreak);
(void) signal(SIGTERM, terminaterun);
PyEval_EvalCode(pyCode, maindict, maindict);

Py_Finalize();

}
---cut---

The Python code:

import time

def test():
time.sleep(1)
print "success"
time.sleep(90)


How do I manage to get modules imported? Anybody?
