# 编译c程序调用Python

在项目原型阶段，使用Python或者shell来验证程序逻辑和方案是非常快捷的开发方法。而且可以在原型完善以后，通过C语言重写方式来提高性能。

不过，在C/C++代码中嵌入Python，最初也遇到一些问题，记录如下。

> 我在编译嵌入Python的C程序就遇到过无法找到头文件，以及链接程序的错误，这里为了简化，采用了Python 2.7官方文档[Embedding Python in Another Application](https://docs.python.org/2/extending/embedding.html#very-high-level-embedding)的样例：

```c
#include <Python.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Py_SetProgramName(argv[0]);  /* optional but recommended */
  Py_Initialize();
  PyRun_SimpleString("from time import time,ctime\n"
                     "print 'Today is',ctime(time())\n");
  Py_Finalize();
  return 0;
}
```

我最初尝试设置

```
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/python2.7
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/python2.7
```

但是依然失败

* 设置编译环境

> 参考 [Can't find Python.h already installed python-dev](https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2109341)

```bash
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/python2.7
export C_INCLUDE_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/python2.7
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
```

果然不再报告找不到`Python.h`头文件了

另外一种解决方法参考 [Call Python from within C](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=136743) 使用

```c
#include <python2.7/Python.h>
```

但是改成报错

```
/cn_nfs/libvirt-kvm/src/qemu/``qemu_driver.cqemuDomainMigratePrepare3Params:13991: undefined reference to `Py_Initialized'
/cn_nfs/qemuDomainMigratePrepare3Paramslibvirt'-kvm/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c:13992: undefined reference 'to: `Py_IsInitialized'
/cn_nfs/libvirt-kvm/src/qemu/:
qemu_driver.c:13999: undefined reference to `Py_Finalize'

//cn_nfs/libvirt-kvm/src/qemu/cn_nfsqemu_driver.c/:13991libvirt:-kvm/src/qemu /qemu_driver.c:13991undefined: undefined  reference to `referencePy_Initializedcollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```

参考 [Undefined reference - despite lib being found by linker](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13951166/undefined-reference-despite-lib-being-found-by-linker) ，是因为Py\_Initialize需要符号表，从 libpython2.7.a加载，则需要传递编译参数 `-lpython2.7`

不过，依然报错。

<https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=987124> 有一个解决方法

```
$ gcc test.c -o test -lpython2.5 -lm -L/usr/lib/python2.5/config/ -I/usr/include/python2.5/
$ ./test
Today is Thu Nov 20 01:05:17 2008
```

类似 <https://bbs.csdn.net/topics/392185678> 也是同样解决思路。

修改了环境参数，将

```
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" \
 PYTHON=/usr/bin/python
```

修改成

```
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed -lpython2.7" \
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python
```

就可以编译成功

另外，参考 <https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=987124> 的简单代码 （实际上是 <https://docs.python.org/2/extending/embedding.html#very-high-level-embedding> ）

```python
#include <Python.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Py_SetProgramName(argv[0]);  /* optional but recommended */
  Py_Initialize();
  PyRun_SimpleString("from time import time,ctime\n"
                     "print 'Today is',ctime(time())\n");
  Py_Finalize();
  return 0;
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://huataihuang.gitbook.io/cloud-atlas-draft/develop/c/compile/complie_c_call_python.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
