It sounds to me like you are trying to link your non-debug built 
extension module with a debug built Python.  A debug built extension 
module will not have a reference to __imp__Py_InitModule4.

Make sure the code you are trying to link against Python23_d.dll is 
compiled with /DDEBUG /D_DEBUG and /MDd.
