I don't even know dlmodule, but on MacOS we have Jack's wonderful calldll.
It's in the standard distribution. Unfortunately it's only for PPC, but...
what the heck. It's very cool. It could use some improvements, but for
simple cases it works rather well. Be sure to read samplecalldll.py in the
demo folder, too.
