I believe Larry misinterpreted the question, thinking you were asking about how to call routines in the library, not just how to load the library itself. I don't know the answer either, but I can at least suggest that asking in the ctypes mailing list is pretty much certain to get you a quick, correct answer (assuming no one gives one here). -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
