Possibly but I am working with the trivial hello world:

        import std.stdio ;
        
        extern(C) {
            void sayHello() {
                writeln("Hello World.");
            }
        }

is compiled into a shared object and the python is:

        import ctypes
        
        if __name__ == '__main__':
            module = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('lib_helloWorld.so')
            module.sayHello()
        
result is:

        |> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. python execute.py 
        Segmentation fault

I am not sure how I should go about getting a stack trace that is
meaningful. I am on Debian Unstable the above is with a Python 2
virtualenv with PyD installed.
