Cython和gcc：无法运行编译程序

Question

I have a problem with python to C code translation and further compilation.

First, I installed MinGW, wrote `setup.py? script and translated python code (simplest helloworld) to C with Cython:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Then I tried to compile generated .c file:

gcc.exe helloworld.c -mdll -IC:\\Python27\\include -IC:\\Python27\\PC -LC:\\Python27\\libs -LC:\\Python27\\PCbuild -lpython27 -lmsvcr90

No error occurred during compilation, but when I tried to launch generated a.exe file, I got the following error:

a.exe is not a valid Win32 application

I have no idea how to fix this problem.
I'm running 32-bit Vista.
PS Sorry for my poor English.

Answer 1

请参阅Cython wiki on Embedding Cython，以便使用Cython创建独立的可执行文件

Answer 2

The compiled file isn't an executable, it's a library ( dll ).

python modules on windows usually have a .pyd extension, so either rename your file to helloworld.pyd or use -o helloworld.pyd as argument for the compiler.

then you should be able to import helloworld from python.
