I think this gives a memory leak. I was rather thinking of

static PyMethodDef doLoadCallback = {
  "doLoadCallback", &myPython_doLoadCallback, 1
};

       PyObject *pyCallbackFunc = PyCFunction_New(&doLoadCallback,
NULL);

Since you have to write the C(++) functions statically, you can also
provide the PyMethodDef objects statically.
