Calling Python from C
Sometimes it’s useful to call Python functions from C programs. To do this, the following functions can be used:

Calls func with positional arguments args and keyword arguments kwargs. func is a callable object, args is a tuple, and kwargs is a dictionary.
The following example illustrates the use of these functions:
/* Call a python function */ PyObject *func; /* Callable object. */ PyObject *args; PyObject *result; int arg1, arg2; func = ...
