This is the one you need.

Try running the python interpreter and do:
import pyshout
dir(pyshout)

If you don't see shout_send_data then you have a problem.

Because you didn't change the module, just it's name.

> If i rename pyshoutmodule.o to pyshoutmodule.so i get this eror:

The .o is just an object file, not a library. Python don't (and won't)
know how to use it.

I think it's best for you to do one (or both):
1. Contact pyshout's author for help
2. Implement it's functionallity in pure python.

HTH.
