There's a great free tool for Windows called Dependency Walker that will
inspect any EXE or DLL file and show you all of the other DLLs that file
depends on. Running Dependency Walker on calldll.pyd showed a dependency on
PYTHON21.DLL.

So back to the original problem, which you didn't mention: What is it you
are trying to do? There may be other, more up to date approaches you could
look at.
