As a newbie to Python, I can't comment on the success of your proposal; however if what you propose works -- you've got one huge device driver. Essentially all the core functionality of Python as excess baggage.
-------------------------------------------------- I've been thinking of writing a device driver in python. Some people say this is ridiculous. I used psyco to improve the speed, and now have a program that does the device driver's job (a proprietry touchscreen driver) in user mode. Now, I have no idea how to make the python exe or dll run in kernel mode. I wonder if there are some special api calls that need to made. I'm downloading WinDriver. I hope this can help me. Does anyone not think this is a crazy thing to do? Why not use python for a device driver? I just see it as python dll is the driver, and the .py file are like permanent configuration file for it.
