Many thanks a lot, Gabriel. I will study ctypes and its applicability to ta-lib in particular; in negative case I will go through ta-lib forum available (for registered users) at http://www.tadoc.org here I have just found several posts of people describing their path to ta-lib port via SWIG too. Again thanks and kindest regards:-) Aldo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
