Hello, I'm new to this list. What I'd like to do is add support for pointers to an old version of python (2.2) in an existing application (a game). Searching around the web, I found the ctypes module which is supposed to add this capability to python. However, I didn't quite understand if and how this could be added (installed) to an existing application which uses python. Alternatively, if it's possible (or easier) to just replace the preexisting version of python with 2.5 by messing around with the dll's somehow, instructions on how to do so would be welcome.
Some background information - I'm somewhere between a novice and an intermediate programmer (took intro to C course in university, some highschool programming, and online python tutorials), but have little experience in interfacing with windows, dlls, files, etc. In case you're wondering what I need the pointers for, it's for accessing lower-level functions from the game's console/script files, that aren't otherwise available (I've used dir() to get a list of object methods).
