Frankly, I don't want that. Most C APIs are horrendously unPythonic, so you'd need a wrapper anyway; plus, you shouldn't have to use C-like idioms except VERY rarely (eg pointers and stuff). You *can* use ctypes in CPython, but that's the failure mode for when you don't have any better option. The best option, for a DLL that doesn't already have any Python interface, is to write something in Cython. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
