So this is more a general python question than one specific to PythonD.
There are lots of examples... just google for them. Do someresearch for
yourself. Yoiu can start with the python.org documentation for
extending python in C or C++: http://docs.python.org/ext/intro.htm.

PythonD distutils interface build many modules 'out of the box'. The
only limitation (and it is a biggie) is dxe3. The export table has to
be explicitly defined symbol by symbol and linked staticly into the
main image. Hence, PythonD is not guaranteed to successfuly import your
DJGPP-compiled module, as it may encounter 'unresolved symbols' it
requires. DXE3 also will not support modules with C++ dependencies or
variables.
