extending python with a C-written dll

[Jean-Baptiste PERIN]

thanks for your valuable help .. ctypes is not lost for ever  ..I'm 
going to explore a little bit .. it may suit my need in the end ..


I had read :

http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/ext/intro.html

and eveything looked so simple in it ..
I'm sad to realize that it only works for linux plateform :(

I've tried to build and install ctypes from sources

I ran the following command:

 >> python setup.py build

and I got the following message:

 >> error: Python was built with version 6 of Visual Studio, and 
extensions need to
be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed.


:( :( :( :( So sad ....
