The problem with aspell is (as far as I can see anyway) that the library you mention is aimed at aspell 0.50.5 or the up to date 0.60 series. aspell for windows is currently only at 0.50.3. Hmmm.... I think I'll explore PyEnchant for the moment. I need to see how easy it is to add words to a user dictionary.
