One good way of helping out is to provide an dynamic loading function that third party modules could access the basic python functions such as PyArgParseTuple, PyStringAsString etc regardless of which python the user is running. This would be similar to the COM approach. You can load all the function pointers into a struct and then call them.

Third party modules would link against this DLL independent of which python is being used.

I believe this is not implementable: How can the DLL know which Python DLL to use?
