You can use the ctypes module to access virtually any arbitrary DLL. 
That's what they mean when they talk about an FFI library.  There's a
learning curve, but essentially anything is possible.

Let me caution you, however, that the DLL in that release is a 32-bit
DLL.  If you are using 32-bit Python, you're OK.  If you're using 64-bit
Python, you can't use the binary.  You'd have to build it from source.
