[Pythonmac-SIG] windll on Mac?

[Alex Hall]

You said to find which windll functions are used. As far as I can
tell, here are all of them:
def ActivateWindow(hWindow):
	KERNEL32 = ctypes.windll.KERNEL32
	GetCurrentThreadId = KERNEL32.GetCurrentThreadId
	USER32 = ctypes.windll.USER32
	AttachThreadInput = USER32.AttachThreadInput
	BringWindowToTop = USER32.BringWindowToTop
	GetForegroundWindow = USER32.GetForegroundWindow
	GetWindowThreadProcessId = USER32.GetWindowThreadProcessId
	ShowWindow=USER32.ShowWindow
  #rest of function, using the above methods
