I have done some extra testing of this
a) I tried with a new Dialog based application and I got it to work
b) I included my python access functions into the DLL and it did not
work.
c) I inserted an fprintf(stderr, "..."); before my PyErr_Print()
statement and found that the fprintf message was correctly going to the
redirected file but not the PyErr_Print() message.

Is there something I need to do before/during initialization?
Or is this solely due to the fact that it is within a DLL and not an
application that should have access to the console.

Thanks for any help

PS. Would it not be more generic to have the PyErr_Print return a string
or print to a specified location (FILE*) (or have a different function
that does!)
