Hello, everyone  
I followed the steps in building Julia library.  
[https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/devdocs/binaries\_part\_2/?fbclid=IwAR06HyDGHE6s8Ko1TaM5mC\_xPBmcGBhQ5VrKu-qU\_dgap9k190p6cbMd9Pw](https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/devdocs/binaries_part_2/?fbclid=IwAR06HyDGHE6s8Ko1TaM5mC_xPBmcGBhQ5VrKu-qU_dgap9k190p6cbMd9Pw)

But I found there are no functions exported to outside in the library.  
So I couldn’t call Julia functions inside the library.

How can I make Julia functions be exported to Python?  
Thank you in advance

Hello, jling.  
Thank you for your comment and link  
However, I am looking for a way without PyCall nor PyJulia  
I want to build a DLL from Julia module and want to call it from Python like below

import ctypes  
cdll = ctypes.CDLL(“library path”)  
cdll.somefunction()

Thank you.
