does anyone know how to replace the C comands inp() and outb() these are used for parallel port communication
These are non standard C functions and will depend on your compiler, OS and hardware. You might be able to access them from Python via the ctypes module, especially if they are in a Windows DLL.
There is a way to access the parallel port from Python as was mentioned in a thread earlier this week(?) using pyParallel.
http://pyserial.wiki.sourceforge.net/pyParallel But pyParallel is still in development...
