We really should continue this discussion on the appropriate Python

I think that you forgot the attached, but don't worry, I have seen it
before.

I have attempted to pursue this approach -- see the attached for details.

I attempted to pursue the above in the following:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2001-February/002003.html
but I didn't receive any responses so I dropped it.
I'm sorry but I don't have the cycles to pursue this myself. I still
think that the DL_EXPORT approach is the way to go. Of course, you
are welcome to spear head this effort yourself. Remember to wear your
helmet... :,)
