Thanks, Ryan.  You were on the right track.  I changed
the name of the file in the load_library call to
test1ctypes.so and I had to put in the full path to
the file as the second argument.  The default path was
to my home directory.  I could probably change paths
with a python os call, too.  

Anyway, IT WORKED!  How 'bout that?  One simple
example down and now on to more complex things.

Thanks, again.
