Hi,

Need some help embedding Python in C++, following the article:
Embedding Python in C/C++: Part I[^]

My system:
Windows 7 64bit
Python 2.7
VS 2005

I've already included Python27/lib and Python27/include in my VC++ additional include directories. In addition, I was using "release" mode. However, I still have the fatal error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python27.lib'

Anyone has the similar problem before?

Thanks!!

Solution 1

Your question would be better placed at the bottom of the article in question rather than here. You stand a much better chance of the author seeing it then and being able to answer.

If you're going down that road, you're probably better off basing your work on Boost Python[^]

As for your error:LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python27.lib'

You need to tell the linker where to find the library.
Linker->General->Additional Library Directories

Thanks, Sergey - If you could have a look at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/471662/Windows-Development-in-Cplusplus-working-with-menu
Any thoughts you would have about it would be greatly appreciated

Looks nice, but, according to my records. 2 more of your articles wait in line for my review. First of all, I found some problems in your work on dependencies -- very nice WPF technique and styling, but I wish you had more essential functionality. Another one is on Direct2D. I'll try to review them, if I find I have enough expertize on the topics, but some time later. I have 100% complete code to publish an article by myself, cannot get enough courage to sit down and write the whole text at once, waiting for more room in my free time... I don't count 2-3 articles with "almost complete" code and one major work... Hopefully, I'll get some time and prioritize it all soon enough...

My last 4 articles share the same codebase, currently crawling towards 1.7MB of C++ code - and it's fair to say I've only just got started.

So I've put a wee bit more work into the code than the articles - so far I'm only creating "lego" bricks, that is the basic building blocks for a framework.

As for Depends4Net - I certainly intended to do a bit more work on it, but so far I haven't gotten around to it ;)

>> cannot get enough courage to sit down and write the whole text at once
I would certainly describe some of mine as work-in-progress - still, I think, getting some feedback is quite useful. Look at the difference between the two articles on Depends4Net - the first has a nice picture on the top, while the second contains far more practical code examples and descriptions - still, the first got far better response. I tend to view it as a learning experience ...

I was talking it because earlier I relatively easily programmatically detected dependency diagram; even though I did it in console application, I needed work result, not application. Maybe you could use the idea. Actually, messing with all this stuff is very useful when you just get some project made by a team before you, and really need to dig into this can of worms to sort things out... :-)

I've picked up a few tricks that I would like to incorporate from ILSpy - but for now, I will continue on the C++ library - I guess it's time to call it a night ...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 19-Nov-12 20:01pm

Agree. But I'm still at work, want to go home (20:01), but... your time is 2AM, right? Going to do some work tomorrow, or what? :-)
(As to me, I often can allow myself to sleep in the morning...)

Yes, it was about 2:00AM - and I was back at work at 9:00PM - so, yes, sleep sounds just wonderful

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 20-Nov-12 11:24am

You take care of yourself. :-)

Thanks a lot Espen. I solved the case and am looking at Boost.Python now!

That's brilliant :-D
