I am interested to know why you prefer it. I can think of the following advantages: - It initialises RAPI the first time you try to use it, and remembers this. - It includes more file I/O functions. I'm sure it is good for some purposes, but I can also think of some possible disadvantages: - The functions are in a class instead of a module. This means that you could create multiple instances of the class, which doesn't make sense. - The name "pocketRapi" implies Pocket PC only but RAPI really applies to Windows CE in general. - It requires win32file. - The file I/O functions do not follow the pattern of Python file objects. - It doesn't include the last error codes in exceptions raised. - It doesn't use "argtypes" or "restype". I don't know if this makes it faster? - Redistributions in "binary form" must reproduce the copyright notice.
