I have a Python module with nothing but regular global functions. I need to call it from another business-domain scripting environment that can only call out to C DLLs. Is there anyway to build my Python modules so that to other code it can be called like a standard C function that’s exported from a DLL? This is for a Windows environment. I’m aware of IronPython, but as far as I know it can only build .NET Assemblies, which are not callable as C DLL functions.
Take a look at this Codeproject article. One way would be wrap your python functions in a C dll and expose this to the callee.
COM is a binary protocol to solve this issue. But you will have to wrap this python dll in a COM wrapper. And add some code on the calling side as well.
