Could you, please, port my or Alexandre's Perl samples
to Python, so we'll be able to easy compare them? It
will be interesting to see differences.

There is no big difference between Perl and Python for
this application.
IMHO they have the same problems:
a) you have no C compiler support. We need to define
manually constants, types of parameters, returning
values, sizes of structures, etc.
Even with C I saw on this list discussions about
correct sizes of the structures, leave alone scripting
languages.

b) developer skills. C the most familiar language to
those who knows/learns Win32.

About my backround - I know Perl pretty well, know and
like Python too.
