Using freeze or other application to create linkable dynamic libraries for c++ applications?

[Geoff Wedig]

Is it possible to create a DLL (pr on unix a .a, .so, etc) from python 
code, perhaps using freeze or some other application?  Freeze seems to 
assume that it's creating the main program body, but I don't really 
understand it well enough to say.

If it doesn't work, is there another application that can be used to do 
this?
