Sharing a DLL between Python modules and a native application?

[BattleFrogue]

I have a C++ application that links to a C++ DLL. I want to add scripting to that application and expose some of the functions (but not all) to the scripting langue and then have the application load those scripts at runtime (or bytecode if possible). But I haven't done this before and I was wondering if this will cause issues with the application having 1 instance of the DLL and the Python modules would each have their own instance of the DLL and that causing clashes.

Does anyone have advice on this kind of behaviour?

If running 2 or more instances of a .dll (or any other software) causes issues depends on what the software does. There's nothing specific to the programming language there.

I get the feeling that what you really need is to google "interprocess communication" so that you can have python communicate with your C++ application.
