Hi Andre,
What is CvDda>? There are loads of different results in my search
engine.
To answer your question: in Python you can load DLLs via Python's
ctypes. You just load the DLL via `CDLL()` or
`cdll.LoadLibrary()`. It's relatively easy to make a Windows DLL
in D. To make it accessible for Python's C-types, just expose
your functions like so
extern (C) {
export void myFunction(){}
}
Of course, any arguments (at least on Windows) or return types
should be C-style, i.e. `const char*` instead of `string`. To
Python it all looks like C, it doesn't know about D. I've seen a
plug-in written in Scheme and it is also loaded via Python's
`CDLL()`.
To bind a Python function to your DLL just do something like this
(assuming you're in a class):
// Load
self.myDLL = CDLL("path/to/dll")
If your function is void, just call it using
// call void function in DLL
self.myDLL.myFunciton();
If it returns something, you should first define the return value:
// assign return type to function in Python
self.myDLL.getError.restype = c_char_p
To pass arguments, it's best to convert Python to C-types like so:
// pass argument as C-type
self.myDLL.myFunction(c_char_p("text"))
It's all in the Python docs at
https://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html.

Good to know I'm not the only one! I was already wondering how many people in Ireland actually use D! :-) It's either considered "exotic" or "never heard of".
