It's not impossible, that's basically what I did on a smaller scale in pyasm: http://mysite.verizon.net/olsongt/ A small C-stub executes arbirary asm that was originally built as a string. The tough part for you would be loading all of the referenced .dlls into memory and patching in all the relocations from the source COFF file. It'll be a pain but not entirely impossible. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
