Talk:Extending Python with C++

Hi. When I try to execute the line:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

I get the error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 2, in <module>
      from distutils import setup, Extension
ImportError: cannot import name setup

Any ideas?

Also, is it possible to have separate header and implementation files for the C++ code?

Okay, it looks like the line should instead be

from distutils.core import setup, Extension

Now I just need to figure out why gcc can't find stdlib.h...
