Compiling kw-args in tests

[joeyism]

Hi,

I am trying to run the kw-args code in the tests folder. I ran
go build
which created the kw-args file. When I run
./kw-args
I get the error
could not import 'kwargs'
Is there anything else I need to do for PyImport_ImportModule to import kwargs properly?

EDIT: I also tried #39 solution but that didn't work for me either

I don't know if this is the proper way, especially because it seems like the code will be very dependent on work environment, but I was able to get it working with

sys_path := python.PySys_GetObject("path")

python.PyList_Append(sys_path, python.PyString_FromString("/home/test/Documents/Programming/go/src/github.com/sbinet/go-python/tests/kw-args"))

which is just $GOPATH/src/github.com/sbinet/go-python/tests/kw-args

This seems hacky though, is there a better way to do it?

hi @joeyism

as you can see here: https://github.com/sbinet/go-python/blob/master/python_test.go#L26, the way these examples are run as tests is basically to add "." to $PYTHONPATH.
Not sure that's something I would recommand for production, though :)

That said, I could add something to the various main.go package with instructions on how to run.
Something like:

// Run like so:
//   $> PYTHONPATH=`pwd`:$PYTHONPATH \
//      go run ./main.go
package main
[...]

what do you think?
