[Openmcl-devel] Embedding CPython in CCL

[Ron Garret]

Thanks!  This actually works for me.  I had to make one small change:

(cffi:defcfun (#+:64-BIT-TARGET "Py_InitModule4_64"
                #-:64-BIT-TARGET "Py_InitModule4"
                Py_InitModule4)
...

but other than that it seems to work like a charm.  Thanks again!

Thanks!
