AttributeError in Python C API?

RadXPictures asked:

Open original thread
So, I have two projects: a library and a console app. In the library, I have the following function declaration:

C++
std::string NewApp::Testing()
{
	char* test[] = {"test", 0};
	PyObject* obj = Python::Py_Arg("test", "test", test);
	std::string s = PyString_AsString(obj);
	return s;
}


Then, in the app, I call the function:

C++
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	std::cout << NewApp::Testing();
	return 0;
}


Which all makes a call to the following Python script (which is in the same release directory as the static library):

PERL
def test(wrd):
    return wrd


Yet, for whatever reason, I get the following error every time I run the program:

AttributeError: `module` object has no attribute `test`
Cannot find function "test"


And it's driving me crazy! It knows where the file is but it can't find the function. What could be causing it?? I've gotten embedded Python to work before in another app, yet I still can't get this one to work! Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

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.
