I've added a new exe to run a second process.
There are multiple ways to create IPC (inter process communication) that allows one process to call another.
I used RPC (remote process call) (recommended by Overmind).

.idl files are parsed by MIDL compiler which will generate one .h and two .c files for each .idl file.
The generated files are included + compiled in the dll and exe.
VS does all the generating and compiling automatically. We just need to write .idl files.

My dream is to move all the current code to the new process.
Then the old dll would have classes and functions that match the DllExports (and maybe the python calls) to bounce calls between the new process and the old exe.

It's a great dream, a dream we share. ^^
