Your function is being called from Python, correct? Then in

Correct, and it works _now_*! The lines
printf("Incoming printf: %s\n", str);
writefln("writefln %s", to!string(str));
Print now:
Incoming printf: Hello from Python
writefln Hello from Python
So the correct signature is
extern (C) {export void printThis(char* str);}
Thanks you guys! I'm so glad I don't have to write a C-wrapper!
*("_now_" because I tried char* with extern (C) before as I would
in my other Python modules, but it didn't work for some reason.
Must have overlooked something. Mea culpa!).
