Duncan, Mike, MRAB, Thank you. New technology set, same forgotten lesson - RTFM (all of it!).
Thanks also for the clarification on discarding objects and Garbage Collection. Looks like I'll have to turn a large chunk of my previous understanding of (mainframe) languages 'inside out'.
I'm just wondering how often I'll have to chant "it isn't a variable, it's a name bound to an object" before I can write a chunk of code without spending ages pondering why it isn't working.
I already like Python for its clean design but I think it'll be a while before I love it completely.

Tell the function what type to return before you call it: InitScanLib = sLib.InitScanLib InitScanLib.restype = c_short See http://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html#return-types You can also tell it what parameter types to expect which will make calling it simpler.
