Go to http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan/accu and you'll find my talks from 
this year's ACCU conference. The Integrating Python talk used this api as 
an example so you'll find wrappers for it both using the raw C api and 
using Pyrex (the Pyrex one is slightly better).

If you have problems compiling the examples drop me an email and I'll send 
you a prebuilt dll.
