How can I call built-in functions in Python using Boost.Python

I know we can import modules and just embed Python code in C++ and evaluate it. But how can I use built-in functions like print or open? These functions off course aren't module. Evaluating embedded open statement just gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'open' is not defined

Stuck. Please help me.

Try importing the builtins and io module and if you want any other function just call the __module__ attribute to find about which module to import

>>> print.__module__
'builtins'
>>> open.__module__
'io'
