after some further investigation it appears that the majority of bitmap functions occur in the Windows gdi32.dll library. Using Mark Hammond's notation the corresponding extension should be win32gdi.pyd -- which doesn't exist.
I'm trying to do an programmatic screen capture to a file (so I can stitch them together to make a movie of a dynamic process). The other two routes I've tried -- Fred Lundh's grabscreen and Sam Rushing's anydll, don't appear to work (can't find dll message) with Python 2.2.
Any other suggestions welcome.

The only attributes and methods in PyWin32-land that include "bitmap"
(that I can find) are the following:
D:\>pywin32where Bitmap
Found approximate match: 'win32clipboard.CF_BITMAP'.
Found approximate match: 'win32clipboard.CF_DSPBITMAP'.

Found approximate match: 'win32ui.CreateBitmapFromHandle'.
No "CreateCompatibleBitmap". There are many Win32 API methods that are
not implemented in PyWin32 (Mark Hammond is always accepting patches,
though. :)
I have attached the little 'pywin32where' script that I use to track
down methods and attributes in PyWin32.
Cheers,
Trent
