Passing enum as function parameters in c

Question

I have a DLL library in C (and its source code) and I'm interfacing it using python 3.9. There is one function that passes an enum as a function parameter. I defined the enum as a dll_export so I could use it in python but get an error that the enum is not defined. I was wondering if it's even possible to export enums from the DLL and use them in python. Here is a code example.

#pragma once

#include <stdio.h>

#ifdef HELLO_WORLD_EXPORTS
#define HELLO_WORLD_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define HELLO_WORLD_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

HELLO_WORLD_API int sum(int a, int b);

HELLO_WORLD_API void message(void);

HELLO_WORLD_API typedef enum{ Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun }day;

HELLO_WORLD_API void my_test(day data);

HELLO_WORLD_API void my_test(day data)
{
    printf("%d", data);

}

if I were to use the enum in C would be like in the example below.

int main()
{
    day test = Sun;
    my_test(test);
    return 0;
}

I can use other functions from the DLL using python without problems except for the ones that have enums as parameters. I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.
