Is there any kind of interface (.h, etc...) ? If this is a proprietary 
library, there has to be something so that it can be called from C, and 
anything that can be called from C can be called from python. If you 
don't know at least the functions signatures, it will be very difficult 
(you would have to disassemble the code to find how the functions are 
called, etc...).

cheers,
