Just to clarify this: ctypes IS stable, and in fact will be part of Python 2.5 (first alpha to be released in a week or so). comtypes is the "work-in-progress" (though it has been quite useable, at least for the simple stuff I did, for some time now). It's all quite elegant, too. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
