Python/C API for VC++

Qianfei Li asked:

Open original thread
Hi,

I was trying to use Python/C API in VC++. However, I got a error link message when linking the project:
python.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__Py_Initialize referenced in function _main

I have included the 'python27/include' and 'python27/libs' in C/C++ ->General ->Additional include directories and Linker->general->additional libraries directories.

Also, I was using "Debug" mode. Is there any further steps I need to follow?

Below is the code. I'd appreciate if anyone could help.

==================================================
C#
#include "stdafx.h"
#undef _DEBUG /* Link with python24.lib and not python24_d.lib */
#include "Python.h"


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int i;
    PyObject *pName, *pModule, *pDict, *pFunc, *pArgs, *pValue;

    if (argc < 3)
    {
        printf("Usage: exe_name python_source function_name\n");
        return 1;
    }

    // Initialize the Python Interpreter
    Py_Initialize();


    return 0;
}

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
