enough here to point to some resources for win32 api and I have found

Sorry, I meant a 'json' module,
I'm coming into this thread late so I might be off the mark here, but

Coming into this thread late: If you are working with Windows
workstations, try posting your question on the Python Windows API

to do.

by wget and cdrecord (or whatever the kids are using these days).
