I am trying to call user32.dll into IronPython how do I do this? Do I use clr.AddReference, that doesn't seem to do it.
clr.AddReference only works for .NET assemblies. user32.dll is not a .NET assembly. To use it you will either need PInvoke or ctypes that comes with IronPython 2.6.
PInvoke relies on .NET attributes. It used to be the case that you couldn't use these directly with IronPython but needed a simple C# wrapper. The following article shows how to call into user32.dll using a C# wrapper:
