good point. I agree that the problem is probably due to name mangling.
I'm not sure how its possible to tell the application that the DLL is
a C dll? I've looked at the DLL using Dependency Walker and the
functions in the DLL are clean (Thus no name mangling used).

How do I tell Visual C++ that the DLL is a C dll? I thought it should
be in Python.h but this line appears at the top of the file:

/* Since this is a "meta-include" file, no #ifdef __cplusplus / extern
"C" { */

Thanks for the help
