OK, then. ctypes works under Linux and Solaris. But before I even think about converting my code to ctypes (and convert lots of Linux libraries from static to dynamic libraries), would the conversion really address my problem? As I understand it, if there is an incompatibility between VC6 and VC7 compiled libraries the issue comes turns up with ctypes as well as with my current extension modules?
