What is this line? That doesn't look like part of a Python traceback. I
suppose it is possible that the DLL is printing it before the exception is
raised. Or did you type it yourself?

You're still making it as hard as possible for anyone to help you. Is it a
secret what DLL you are trying to call? What is "lib"?

Googling on 0xeedfade suggests that it is an internal Delphi error,
possibly an out-of-memory error. Are you calling a Delphi DLL? What does
that exception mean?
