#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   return "hello, world";
}

The above C code has been compiled in a program called hello.c

I would like to call the above C program from a Python program in order to print the return message "hello, world".

Is there a simple Python code example to do this? Something like this: import hello.c print(return)

You got the documentation here: https://docs.python.org/3/extending/extending.html – FuRioN Apr 14 '15 at 14:46

Also it should be noted, an application's entry point must return a status code, not a string pointer. – Bryan Way Apr 14 '15 at 14:47
