Although it is possible (as others have said) to embed Python the interpreter into a driver, no one has done that that I know of. You'd have to write the driver in C or C++, though, and then provide embed a python interpreter and then provide a python interface (wrapper code written in C++) that would expose binary primitives and structures to python that the OS and driver use. Sounds like quite an undertaking. I embedded a python interpreter in a gina dll once (to write login code in python). That's a form of system programming, but not what you're asking about. Someone years ago someone embedded the perl interpreter into a Linux driver allowing some kinds of device drivers to be written in perl. It was made more as a curiosity though. Python is not well-suited to system programming. It takes extra work (via the ctypes library or other wrappers) to interface with C structs, plus calls all have to be marshalled to and from the native C APIs. Might be cool, though. System programming in Win32 is very complicated and messy. What little system programming I've done in Linux was a dream compared. Definitely you'll have to master win32 system programming in C and C++ before you try to embed python in anything. I'm sure there are a number of books on the subject. That's where I'd start. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
