Yep, that will give you an AttributeError... You want to be looking in "ntdll", not kernel32.
eg. ctypes.windll.ntdll.NtQuerySystemInformation But that's only to get you partway there. Next you'll need to implement the SYSTEM_INFORMATION_CLASS structures, to provide as parameters. MSDN has some info on this function: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724509(VS.85).aspx But, wow... Just starting with windows programming, and jumping right into the semi-documented territory. Brave. :) 2009/10/23 Aahz <[email protected]>: > I'm just getting into Windows programming for the first time, and I need > to list all open files.
