Well, you don't necessarily have to deal with the C API or ctypes; it may be enough to invoke an external program that accesses the necessary memory address. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

There may be such a beast in existence already, but it should not be hard at all to do, given the simplicity of the requirements. -- -- Fred of UrlBit.Us -- http://UrlBit.Us - Bite those URLs down to size!

In pure Python it's not possible and even in C it might be difficult to get an absolute *physical* memory address unless you run DOS. Modern operating systems tend to use some virtualisation of memory. :-) What's your goal? What do you expect at the memory address you want to access?
