D-DLLs & Python

[Chris]

I tried extern (C) which has some advantages. However, it still 
doesn't produce the desired result (tried slicing too).

extern(C) {
   export void synthesize(ref char[] str) {
	printf("Incoming printf: %s\n", &str);
	writefln("writefln %s", &str);
	writefln("writefln %s", to!string(&str));
	writefln("writefln %s", to!string(str));
   }
}

OUTPUT:

Incoming printf: Hello from Python
writefln 2366A34
writefln 2366A34
