Mismatched C runtimes (between Python and the library) might be an issue in some cases, like sharing a FILE struct or allocating memory from one side and freeing it on the other side. But "sane" APIs (for some definition of sanity) should be usable without problems. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
