I don't know anything about writing c/c++ code with Python.  I have 
plenty of experience with each, but not together.

But the usual C++ answer is to use an extern "C"  declaration for any 
function you need to be visible to the outside world.  It prevents the 
usual C++ name mangling.

(It therefore also prevents function overloading and can't generally be 
used on class member functions)
