Does that include straight win32 (non-MFC) apps?

Is it connected with this one, or is it completely different?

Well, I'm not too worried about the Tkinter thing. I'm only embedding
IDLE until I can get PythonWin's debugger running in my app. I'll give
it another go without Tkinter loaded.

I should imagine not. I suppose there is some sort of API under Windows
to allow this sort of thing (like the Visual C++ debugger does) but I
wouldn't have any idea where to start.
