[python-win32] Network configuration change notification

Hi,

I would like to write a Python application that sits and waits in the 
background (a service I guess) for changes in my network configuration 
on my laptop. I want to reconfigure my system depending on the network 
I'm connected to.
I want to change proxy settings map drives, set default printer, ......
I found on MSDN Library that there is a IPHLPAPI.dll taht provides a 
NotifyAddrChange function. That far I got. Now I should be able to call 
that function from Python and be notified somehow when my ip-address 
changes.

Any that can point me in the right direction? I was thinking of using 
ctypes for it but maybe there are easier ways to do this,

TIA,

Rudy
