I just joined this list, so I am sorry if this is not the right place to ask. I have written an application in python, and one library I use relies on the ctypes.windll functions, specifically user32 and kernel32. I would like to use this library, but I also want to make my application cross-platform. Is there an equivalent to windll on the Mac?
In a word, no.
It looks like the library uses the dll for finding things like the current thread id, current window, and for functions like window/thread management (it is a dialog builder library built around wx).
These sorts of things will have to be done differently on the Mac. There is some chance that some of them may be done with the wx lib (which would wrap the Mac version), but most likely some will require Mac-specific methods.
If you find out exactly what calls are made, and what they do, I'd ask on the wxPython list, and then here, to find out how to do it on the Mac.
