How to retrieve filename and lineno attribute of SyntaxError

Question

I have embedded python interpreter in my application. I use it to run python scripts using PyRun_String() API. I can fetch error information using PyErr_F

Answer 1

I resolved it in following way. I used PyErr_NormalizeException() after PyErr_Fetch() and code is working fine now.

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    Py_Initialize();

    // Get a reference to the main module.
    PyObject* main_module =
        PyImport_AddModule("__main__");

    // Get the main module's dictionary
    // and make a copy of it.
    PyObject* main_dict =
        PyModule_GetDict(main_module);

    const char *script_source = "def main():\n\tprint('Hello'\n\nmain()";

    PyObject *res = PyRun_String(script_source,Py_file_input,main_dict,main_dict);
    if(res == NULL)
    {
        PyObject *ptype = NULL, *pvalue = NULL, *ptraceback = NULL;
        PyErr_Fetch(&ptype,&pvalue,&ptraceback);
        PyErr_NormalizeException(&ptype,&pvalue,&ptraceback);

        char *msg;
        char *file;
        int line;
        int offset;
        char *text;

        int res = PyArg_ParseTuple(pvalue,"s(siis)",&msg,&file,&line,&offset,&text);

        PyObject* file_name = PyObject_GetAttrString(pvalue,"filename");
        PyObject* file_name_str = PyObject_Str(file_name);
        PyObject* file_name_unicode = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(file_name_str,"utf-8", "Error");
        char *actual_file_name = PyBytes_AsString(file_name_unicode);

        PyObject* line_no = PyObject_GetAttrString(pvalue,"lineno");
        PyObject* line_no_str = PyObject_Str(line_no);
        PyObject* line_no_unicode = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(line_no_str,"utf-8", "Error");
        char *actual_line_no = PyBytes_AsString(line_no_unicode);

        printf("done");
    }
}
