No. It's reasonable to assume, that there is no *easy* way to get Win32's DLL working under unices. There are hackish ways, for example MPlayer does support Win32's DLL codecs. Linux/Unix shared libraries have completely different file format (usually ELF). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-link_library http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_library#Naming -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
