The prototype is in <CODE>macglue.h</CODE>. +This call initializes the toolbox, GUSI (if needed), sets up the correct +resource files and calls Py_Initialize. + +<LI> You have to be consequent in your use of GUSI. If the library uses +it so should your program and vice versa. + +<LI> The console-behaviour (close-on-exit, etc) is controlled by Python, +but you are of course free to change that after calling PyMac_Initialize(). +</UL> + +The Python environment is started with a dummy argc and argv, and initial +startup options are obtained through the usual means, except that the +user pression the option-key will not result in an interactive dialog. +You can, however, set startup options on your program in the same way as you +do for applets, by dragging your application to <code>EditPythonPrefs</code>. <p> + +The most logical way to embed Python is to link it against the shared library +<code>PythonCorePPC</code> or <code>PythonCoreCFM68K</code>. An example project +and source can be found in the <a href="embed">embed</a> folder. + +</BODY> +</HTML> |
