Load a C++ DLL in python, functions using extern "C"

Thread Starter 
Ok so, I began programming my own game using the Blender Game engine which is written in python but allows you to design the 3d images, apply them to the game and write the script all in one program, but it is all in python. Which is unfortunate for me because all of my experience is in C++, but I can make DLLs no problem that allow me to simply call the functions that i wrote in C++ in the python script, But i wanted to see if there was a way to call extern "C" functions using python, and how exactly to get the procedure address in python, it is prefered that all of this be done with the basic script and not a system-dependant library (I want the game to be multiple platforms)

You can call functions from DLLs using Python's ctypes module.
http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html

Also, check out swig: http://www.swig.org/
