You're not using Python's C API, so you only need `cl /LD helloworld.c`. > However, this doesn't print anything on the python window. > What I would like is to do is to be able to use printf() in my .dll > by having the c code pop up a console window to print or > to have something that can print() in the python window somehow. By Python window, do you mean the IDLE GUI? If the library is loaded in a GUI program in which stdout is invalid, it will have to manually allocate a console via `AllocConsole` and open the screen buffer using the reserved filename "CONOUT$". Then it can print to the opened FILE stream using fprintf(). But I'll reiterate Alan here that this would be unusual behavior for a shared library, unless it's specifically intended as a UI library. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
