Calling Script from Command line not working

[Sathish S]

Hey Gabriel,
Thanks a lot for replying. I was able to run this python script from
console/command prompt using cygwin python. I'm not sure whats the
difference between these two versions of python. But it seems to be working.
Searching theough the web i found that having cygwin1.dll could be causing
this issue. So I'm trying to build my DLL using MinGW which will not create
an dependecy DLL's. But I'm stuck up with few more issue in porting few
functions to MinGW.

I'm using Python2.7 and Cygwin Python 2.6.5

*Reply to your comments:*

** why do you initialize cygwin1.dll in Python? If it's a dependency of
my.dll, it might be better to load and initialize it there.*
Yes, cygwin1.dll is actually a dependency to my.dll. hence I'm loading it
and initializing it
** for this function prototype: void cygwin_dll_init(void);*
*you should declare it using:*
I'm doing this as you said. But didn't mention it in my mail

hCyg = cdll.LoadLibrary(CygWinDLL_Name)
hCyg = CDLL(CygWinDLL_Name)
Prototype_Cyg = CFUNCTYPE(c_void_p)
Init = Prototype_Cyg (("cygwin_dll_init", hCyg))
Init.restype = c_void_p
Init()

Thanks,
Sathish
