thanks for recomending it :-) as a little clarification:
the link to pyparallel is here:
http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyparallel.html

(its only a small note on the mainpage)

currently i have only py2.2 versions available for download, but i can 
easily build the 2.3 version upon request, or you can build it on your own 
with mingw32 or cygwin installed: python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 
install

you will need giveio.sys, also available in the downloads section, that 
allows programs to access the io ports on Win NT/2k/XP
