I am linking to python dynamically. I want to obtain the dictionary of the script and access the variables declared in the script. However, with the PyObject * that I get from the dictionary, I am not able to find the type of the object. The reason being that GetProcAddress to PyInt_Check returns a NULL. The same thing with PyFloat_Check and so on. I think this is because they are macros and not exported functions. What can be done to be able to perform these checks without statically linking to the pyhon lib ? Thanks, Abhaya
