I am trying to call some python code from my c++ app but i cannot for the love of god get PyImport_Import to import the module/file from the working dir of the app

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    PyObject *pName, *pModule, *pFunc;
    PyObject *pArgs, *pValue;
    int i;
    const auto f = fopen("test.txt", "w");
    if (argc < 3) {
        fprintf(stderr,"Usage: call pythonfile funcname [args]\n");
        return 1;
    } 
    PyConfig conf;
    Py_Initialize();
    PyObject* sys = PySys_GetObject("path");

    //PyList_Append(sys, PyUnicode_FromString("./"));

    for(Py_ssize_t idx = 0; idx < PyList_Size(sys); idx++)
    {
        PyObject* item = PyList_GET_ITEM(sys, idx);
        wchar_t str[1000];
        PyUnicode_AsWideChar(item, str, 1000);
        std::wcout << str << "\n";
    }

    pName = PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault(argv[1]);
    /* Error checking of pName left out */
    std::cout << "starting..22.";

    pModule = PyImport_Import(pName);
    PyErr_Print();
    PyObject_Print(pModule, f, Py_PRINT_RAW);
    Py_DECREF(pName);
    std::cout << "starting...";
    if (pModule != NULL) {
        std::cout << "1\n";
        pFunc = PyObject_GetAttrString(pModule, argv[2]);
        /* pFunc is a new reference */

        if (pFunc && PyCallable_Check(pFunc)) {
        std::cout << "2\n";

            pArgs = PyTuple_New(argc - 3);
            for (i = 0; i < argc - 3; ++i) {
        std::cout << "3\n";

                pValue = PyLong_FromLong(atoi(argv[i + 3]));
                if (!pValue) {
                    Py_DECREF(pArgs);
                    Py_DECREF(pModule);
                    fprintf(stderr, "Cannot convert argument\n");
                    return 1;
                }
                /* pValue reference stolen here: */
                PyTuple_SetItem(pArgs, i, pValue);
            }
            pValue = PyObject_CallObject(pFunc, pArgs);
            Py_DECREF(pArgs);
            if (pValue != NULL) {
        std::cout << "4\n";

                printf("Result of call: %ld\n", PyLong_AsLong(pValue));
                Py_DECREF(pValue);
            }
            else {
        std::cout << "5\n";

                Py_DECREF(pFunc);
                Py_DECREF(pModule);
                PyErr_Print();
                fprintf(stderr,"Call failed\n");
                return 1;
            }
        }
        else {
        std::cout << "6\n";

            if (PyErr_Occurred())
                PyErr_Print();
            fprintf(stderr, "Cannot find function \"%s\"\n", argv[2]);
        }
        Py_XDECREF(pFunc);
        Py_DECREF(pModule);
    }
    else {
        PyErr_Print();
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to load \"%s\"\n", argv[1]);
        return 1;
    }
    if (Py_FinalizeEx() < 0) {
        return 120;
    }
    return 0;
}

As you can see i’ve added multiple log points to maybe get some info, the important one being the printing of sys.path and the pModule

the output of them being

PS C:\dev\SFW\out\tests> .\SFW_unit_test.exe test test_func

AttributeError: module 'test' has no attribute 'test_func'
Cannot find function "test_func"

And

<module 'test' from 'C:\\Users\\Iulian\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python313\\Lib\\test\\__init__.py'>

the test.py file is in the same directory as the executable and contains

def test_func():
    print("hello from function")

You’re getting the test module from the standard library. Can you choose a different name for your module?

There is no fucking way that was the issue. OMAGAAD

Thanks though that was it

Happens to all of us. Still, please watch your language :‍)
