The library is higher level and easier to use than the API, though for limited functionality of the API. It can be used to easily do basic access of Wikipedia pages, which could be useful for many educational, reference and other purposes. This recipe shows the basic use of the wikipedia library, by using it to search for information about oranges.</p>

Then you have to import the module, as you defined in your C code.</p> <p>But this import would be skipped, if you add your function to your __builtin__ module. In Python3 (3.5), there is the PyModule_AddFunctions() function, but in the previous versions, you can make it like this snippet.</p> <p>See these recipes:</p> <p>Makefile: <a href="https://code.activestate.com/recipes/579111-add-function-to-__builtin__-module-through-c-api-c/" rel="nofollow">https://code.activestate.com/recipes/579111-add-function-to-__builtin__-module-through-c-api-c/</a></p> <p>Python script: <a href="https://code.activestate.com/recipes/579112-add-function-to-__builtin__-module-through-c-api-c/" rel="nofollow">https://code.activestate.com/recipes/579112-add-function-to-__builtin__-module-through-c-api-c/</a></p>

At the end I gave up and did it by myself, so the function fb_api, based on net/http, is able to make GET or POST requests (depending if the request is for retrieving information of the graph or is for changing the graph such as post feed etc.). It returns a dict from a JSON data structure.</p> <p>This might be useful for your facebook app ;)</p>
