Many thanks a lot, Gabriel.
I will study ctypes and its applicability to ta-lib in particular; in
negative case I will go through ta-lib forum available (for registered
users) at http://www.tadoc.org here I have just found several posts of
people describing their path to ta-lib port via SWIG too. Again thanks
and kindest regards:-) Aldo
