This is a followup question concerning this one. As pointed in the former question comments, my initial attempt for importing the module was completely wrong, and instead I should have done this :
auto module = PyImport_ImportModule("Package1.Module1");
so I did so :
auto module = PyImport_ImportModule("FV.F_V");
After doing this, now I get much more meaningful output as you can see:

However, when ever I try to use a class defined in the module (i.e FaceVerificationand instantiate it, it fails.
The class seems OK, but the calls that try to instantiate the object, return a null object!:
I tried both PyEval_CallObject and PyObject_CallObject:
auto python_class = PyDict_GetItemString(pdict, "FaceVerification");
if (PyCallable_Check(python_class))
{
object = PyEval_CallObject(python_class, args);
# or
//object = PyObject_CallObject(python_class, args);
//Py_DECREF(python_class);
}
else
{
cout << "Cannot instantiate the Python class" << endl;
//Py_DECREF(python_class);
//return 1;
}
to no avail. This is strange, I therefore added a new CONSTANT field to the F_V.py and tried to see if I can access that (to see if the module was indeed valid). It actually successfully retrieved the constant. However, I noticed, on the re-running of the c++ application, now when I print the map which holds the output of PyModule_GetDict(module), I see a different result :
module: 000001F7E07E8C28
size: 31
CONSTANT: THIS IS A TEST. REMOVE IT
FaceVerification: THIS IS A TEST. REMOVE IT

most notably the FaceVerification which should be a class, is not showing the CONSTANT field's value!
What am I doing wrong here?
As it turns out(many thanks to @Scheff), the reason why the object was null, was because an exception was happening inside the constructor and thus resulted in the object being null.
The reason for the exception was a malformed path and problematic (wrong) arguments.
basically I had set the arguments like this :
auto model_name = "r189";
auto model_checkpoint_path = PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault("L:\\test_procs\\trained_models\BEST_checkpoint_r189.tar");
auto align_fn = Py_None;
auto img_bank_folder_root = PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault("L:\\test_procs\\data\\facebank_2");
auto cache_folder = Py_None;
auto postfix = Py_None;
auto rebuild_cache = Py_False;
auto use_jit = Py_False;
auto threshold = 65;
auto device = "cpu";
and the arguments thus like this :
auto args = Py_BuildValue("sOOOOONNiN", model_name, model_checkpoint_path, align_fn,
img_bank_folder_root, cache_folder, postfix,
rebuild_cache, use_jit, threshold, device);
which was wrong. I changed them to this :
auto model_name = "r189";
auto model_checkpoint_path = "L:\\test_procs\\trained_models\BEST_checkpoint_r189.tar";
auto align_fn = "";
auto img_bank_folder_root = "L:\\test_procs\\data\\facebank_2";
auto cache_folder = "";
auto postfix = "";
auto rebuild_cache = 0;
auto use_jit = 0;
auto threshold = 65;
auto device = "cpu";
and simplified the args like this :
auto args = Py_BuildValue("ssssssiiis", model_name, model_checkpoint_path, align_fn,
img_bank_folder_root, cache_folder, postfix,
rebuild_cache, use_jit, threshold, device);
after doing all of this, I still faced the exception and found out :
model_checkpoint_path needed a fixed as its path lacked a single \ in its path:
auto model_checkpoint_path = "L:\\test_procs\\trained_models\BEST_checkpoint_r189.tar";
fixing it :
auto model_checkpoint_path = "L:\\test_procs\\trained_models\\BEST_checkpoint_r189.tar";
thus solved everything.
