How to execute a .py script from C if Python is embedded?

Question

I can't find relevant information about this. For lua, if you want to execute a test.lua file from the main() C function, you call lua_dofile("test.lua"). What is the python equivalent?

If you are embedding Python, use PyRun_SimpleFile:

FILE *fp = fopen("test.py", "r");
int ret = PyRun_SimpleFile(fp, "test.py");
if(ret < 0) {
    /* exception occurred */
}

Please look at the manual page for exec - there are a variety of options to execute a program/script. System could also be an alternative.
