: Hmmm... Sorry to reply to my own message, but it seems like PyRun_String 
: returns only the Py_None object! 

: How can I get the result of a calculation, say
: obj=PyRun_String ("1+1", start, globals, locals);
: which should be a numeric object? 

: The behaviour I'm trying to get is the same as running python on a terminal:
: when an instruction have a printable result, I want to print it.

You should be able to wrap the code you want in something like:

  char buffer[256];
  char expression[] = "1+1";
  sprintf(buffer, "result = (%s); print result", expression);
  PyRun_String(buffer, start, globals, locals);

This would only work for expressions, but then.. you can't print the
results of statements anyways. ;)
