Python in a Nutshell

Name

PyRun_File

Synopsis

PyObject* PyRun_File(FILE* fp,char* filename,int start, 
PyObject* globals,PyObject* locals)

fp is a file of source code open for reading. filename is the name of the file, to use in error messages. start is one of the constants that define execution mode. globals and locals are dictionaries (may be the same dictionary twice) to use as global and local namespace for the execution. Returns the result of the expression when start is Py_eval_input, a new reference to Py_None otherwise, or NULL to indicate that an exception has been raised (often, but not always, due to a syntax error).
