using IPHLPAPI.dll from Python

[Rudy Schockaert]

I'm trying to write a tool that allows me to obtain and manage the network
configuration on my Win2000 machine.
I've been searching through MSDN and found out that the functions I need are
provided by iphlpapi.dll.
This is not a COM object and I couldn't find a COM substitute for it either.

Is there a way to call functions provided by such a dll? If so, where could
I find the documentation that would get me on the right track?

Thanks in advance,

Rudy
