In my opinion, you could have solved this all much quicker and easier
just by writing a trivial DLL.
c:\tmp>type cpuid.asm

.model flat, stdcall
.code
GetCpuidEcx proc public
xor eax, eax
cpuid
mov eax, ecx
ret
GetCpuidEcx endp
GetCpuidEdx proc public
xor eax, eax
cpuid
mov eax, edx
ret
GetCpuidEdx endp
start proc public, x:DWORD, y:DWORD, z:DWORD
ret
start endp
end start

>>> import ctypes
>>> c = ctypes.windll.cpuid
>>> hex(c.GetCpuidEcx())
'0x444d4163'
>>> hex(c.GetCpuidEdx())
'0x69746e65'

Modifying this to accept the "cpuid" eax value as a parameter is left as
an exercise for the reader.
