You said to find which windll functions are used. As far as I can
tell, here are all of them:
def ActivateWindow(hWindow):
KERNEL32 = ctypes.windll.KERNEL32
GetCurrentThreadId = KERNEL32.GetCurrentThreadId
USER32 = ctypes.windll.USER32
AttachThreadInput = USER32.AttachThreadInput
BringWindowToTop = USER32.BringWindowToTop
GetForegroundWindow = USER32.GetForegroundWindow
GetWindowThreadProcessId = USER32.GetWindowThreadProcessId
ShowWindow=USER32.ShowWindow
#rest of function, using the above methods
You may get help on this from the wx list, but on this list, you'll
probably need to figure out what these functions actually do, and how
the results are used, to know how you would accomplish the same thing on
a Mac.

I just joined this list, so I am sorry if this is not the right place to

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.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
