How about using ctypes <http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html> to wrap lzo2.dll? This should be relatively simple. The dll is part of the PyTables installers at <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pytables>. -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
