I believe you need to use the "C" calling convention in your interfaces 
(i.e. extern C or whatever the equivalent is in assembler).  Haven't 
done enough assembler to know what that would involve in coding your 
DLL.  ctypes doesn't AFAIK work with C++-coded DLLs unless they happen 
to provide a C interface... and I'm not even sure it would work then 
(name mangling might cause problems).

Probably better to ask on ctypes-users than PyOpenGL-users for this kind 
of question, probably only 5 or 6 of us here use ctypes directly, after all.

Good luck,
Mike
