A FILETIME is just a 64-bit integer, and you can always pass it to APIs
that way. The only reason the structure has it in two parts is because
the Microsoft C compilers of the early 1990s did not have a 64-bit type.
Another way to do the unpacking is
struct.unpack('II',struct.pack('Q',i))
and the reverse:
struct.unpack('Q','strict.pack('II',low,high)[0]
