Thanks, I will look into it.

The problem is that I don't have the machine anymore (had to 
return it to user). The weird thing is that the DLL loads 
correctly (else there would be an error message in the log file), 
but is a NoneType (i.e. null) when methods are called (e.g. 
mydll.getSomething()). If it were not loaded, it wouldn't even 
come to the point at which it calls functions in the DLL.
