By the above, do you mean a Win32 or Cygwin extension module? The answer
is yes in either case. However, using Cygwin Python to build a Cygwin
extension module is more straight forward than a Win32 one. Actually,
Cygwin Python behaves the same as other Unix platforms.

The above is due to the fact that your extension module (i.e., DLL) is
not exporting any symbols. You can rectify this problem by adding a
DL_EXPORT macro to the definition of the module's initialization function.
See the following for an example of the solution:

BTW, the cygwin@cygwin.com mailing list is a more appropriate forum for
this type of question.
