You can easily write them with ctypes (it's part of the standard library
now, too) -- at least on systems where you can easily access the C
runtime library as a dynamic library, such as Windows, Linux, and
MacOSX, but I imagine it wouldn't be that much harder on others (I
haven't really looked in depth at the lowest-level functionality offered
by ctype, as the higher-level stuff is plenty sufficient to get a lot of
core dumps:-).
