python wants shared libs, not static libs. but this is very 
fiddly. so use pyd.

1. clone the ariovistus/pyd repo
2. from top dir, type

python setup install
python runtests.py hello

(or
cd examples/hello
python setup.py build
python test.py)

this will run the code found in examples/hello (it's a simple 
python calls D)

use python 2.7 and have dmd 2.064 on your path somewhere. It 
should just work.
