Doing this under Windows requires a C extension, and even then it isn't
easy.  Under Windows 98, you can scan the BIOS for the PCI entry point and
call it directly.  Under Windows NT, even this doesn't work; you need the
help of a kernel driver.

Much of the interesting PCI information is buried in the registry, which IS
accessible from Python.
