<p>The functions in this chapter will let you execute Python source code given in a
file or a buffer, but they will not let you interact in a more detailed way with
the interpreter.</p>
<p>Several of these functions accept a start symbol from the grammar as a
parameter. The available start symbols are <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Py_eval_input</span></code>,
<code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Py_file_input</span></code>, and <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Py_single_input</span></code>. These are described
following the functions which accept them as parameters.</p>
<p>Note also that several of these functions take <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FILE*</span></code> parameters. One
particular issue which needs to be handled carefully is that the <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FILE</span></code>
structure for different C libraries can be different and incompatible. Under
Windows (at least), it is possible for dynamically linked extensions to actually
use different libraries, so care should be taken that <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FILE*</span></code> parameters
are only passed to these functions if it is certain that they were created by
the same library that the Python runtime is using.</p>

programs which embed Python. The <em>argc</em> and <em>argv</em> parameters should be
prepared exactly as those which are passed to a C program’s <code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">main()</span></code>
function (converted to wchar_t according to the user’s locale). It is
important to note that the argument list may be modified (but the contents of
the strings pointed to by the argument list are not). The return value will
be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code> if the interpreter exits normally (i.e., without an exception),
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code> if the interpreter exits due to an exception, or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">2</span></code> if the parameter
