wouldn't that be the windows api extension program I mentioned.  I
didn't want such a huge, but I'm sure useful, extension.  Also I am
trying to stick to the non os specific python.

I was hoping python would have a way to call the loadlibrary function
and whatever mac and unix equivalent would be.  More of a lowlevel os
starting point to execute dll functions.  I am not familiar with unix or
mac but it seems like an obvious need.  Not the whole api just a way to
build your own.
