Gabriel, Its interesting you've mentioned the hard work involved in this interface (binding to an EXE instead of a DLL). A year or more ago I was looking at interfacing IPMITOOL to python. Do to the problems incurred with swig/python I switched to a running the process through its command-line interface. I always felt the problems in interfacing python to an EXE should be worked on (to minimize them), making the direct use of an EXE API's a routine task. I understand some of the problems using an EXE (not running all of its startup code but enough for its proper operation). Have you found this a recurring question? Thanks.
