Windows DDE Server via Python

[Penfold]

This is fairly easy using the dde module that comes with Mark Hammonds ever
invaluable win32all distribution.
[http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/].

Once you've grabbed it look at files in the win32/demos/dde subdirectory of
your Python directory.  You'll see connecting
as a DDE client is a piece of cake.

I'm not sure how warm/hot DDE links can be implementing using it but static
requests and Execs are no problem.
