Thank you Jim for the reply. Here is the screen snapshot for what I did: 

Python 2.3.4 (#2, Aug 19 2004, 15:49:40)
[GCC 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux (Alpha 3.4.1-3mdk)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import word
>>> print word.myReverse("sadkfj;sadf")
fdas;jfkdas
>>> print word.__dict__
{'create_word': <built-in function create_word>, 'Word': <class 
'word.Word'>, 'reverse': <built-in function reverse>, '__file__': 'word.so', 
'myReverse': <built-in function myReverse>, '__name__': 'word', '__doc__': 
None}
>>> w = word.create_word("How are you?")
>>> print w
<word.Word object at 0x4038fddc>
>>> print word.reverse(w)
Segmentation fault 

So you can see that the "struct Word" was mapped to a Python class, and the 
function "myReverse()" just works fine, which means it does find the .so 
file correctly. 

BTW, I tried what you suggested by removing the key word "struct" and adding 
the %ModuleHeaderCode....", it doesn't have any visuable effect.
