Hi Joel,
I found this on stackoverflow*)
os.environ['PATH'] = os.path.dirname(__file__) + ';' + os.environ['PATH']
windll.LoadLibrary('mydll.dll')
It extends the directory list of the environment variable 'path'.
Now at least I've loaded the dll, but I still need to read up on ctypes an file
handles.
Any good pointers (no pun intended ;-) are welcome!

I'm glad to see you got the result you wanted. But, by moving your current
working directory to the library's directory seems like it could cause other
problems with the code. I don't do python on windows, and have unremembered a
lot I used to know about windows. So, my question is, isn't there another way
to do this?
