Fair enough. I don't know how Shapely works - so I can only vaguely 
infer what you mean. However, with that caveat I'll take a look at the 
code and get back to the list when I understand enough to have questions.

It crosses my mind that if you are doing what I think you're doing (ie. 
manually reading the contents of ctypes_declarations.py and eval'ing it) 
then a hackaround solution might be for me to copy 
ctypes_declarations.py into my py2exe output without putting it into 
library.zip. I'll try that out too.

Thanks,
