> I have a problem with Py_Initialize() not being able to find python in the path. Unless I use Py_SetProgramName() with the full path of the python interpreter, I get the following error message:

Turns out this was an Anaconda-specific problem: Py_SetProgramName() resolves the prefix to "/opt/anaconda1anaconda2anaconda3". I sent a post to Anaconda public support forum (anaconda@continuum.io) to find out whether it can be solved without setting $PYTHONHOME or calling Py_SetProgramName() with a full path.

Thanks for your kind help,
