I too, am puzzled, but for a different reason. If you have indeed
cut-and-pasted the stuff above from Python interpreter sessions and files, I
am puzzled as to why you don't see error messages!

Firstly, shouldn't

>>> print testvar()

have been

>>> print c_plus_plus_module.testvar()

This leads me to suspect that you aren't running the code you think you are.
Also the fact that the import of your c_plus_plus_module gave no error leads
me to suspect that you are importing something else, as the "var" on two
lines of your testvar() function will generate syntax errors.

Perhaps you could let us know what the REAL problem is? Accuracy is
important for debugging, and lots of c.l.py readers will be able to help you
when they understand what you are really doing ... good luck!
