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

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

to do.
