On the page:

http://docs.python.org/3.0/extending/embedding.html#extending-embedded-python

Note that the function "Py_InitModule" is used. From what I can tell,
this function no longer exists and regrettably I can't figure out how to
get "PyModule_Create" to work in its place.

Should be fixed in r67655.

I am afraid that the webpage that I mentioned still uses
"Py_InitModule", I just checked. How do I get embedding to work? Thanks.

I took a look at the rst file in your comments and I tried that example
(which uses PyModule_Create), but I am sorry to say that it doesn't
work. It says "no module named emb". Are we sure that PyModule_Create
is all that needs to be called?

You are probably looking at http://docs.python.org/3.0/ still and that
only updates when a new release happens. To see the in-development docs
look at http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/ .

And the problem with the docs and its new PyModule_Create() usage is
being worked on in bpo-4592 (already have a history over there so not
reopening this one).

"You are probably looking at http://docs.python.org/3.0/ still and that

Didn't you just have a new release, Python 3? I thought the website
said it was a stable release? The production help for Python 3 is using
Py_InitModule, which doesn't even exist in the production release of
Python 3. I stopped looking at that help when I figured that out, and
after that I have been looking at the DEV help which (as you mentioned)
does not work for other reasons.

That is not true, I want it to update continually, like the 2.6 ones,
and have already contacted Neal about it.

Yes. The production help is not without errors, since many changes to
the Python 3 branch haven't been properly documented.

But as said, when all is set up correctly, the docs.python.org/3.0 docs
will update and correct errors such as this one.
