This has given me an idea - while I don't expect it to be used in Wine, I will try to write my own test progs with it : use the *windows* python interpreter under Wine. From the doc, it's possible to call any win32 api from it using a 'calldll' interface. If it works well, I won't need a 'test framework' - just use the standard, available tool.
Could you, please, port my or Alexandre's Perl samples to Python, so we'll be able to easy compare them? It will be interesting to see differences.
There is no big difference between Perl and Python for this application. IMHO they have the same problems: a) you have no C compiler support. We need to define manually constants, types of parameters, returning values, sizes of structures, etc. Even with C I saw on this list discussions about correct sizes of the structures, leave alone scripting languages.
b) developer skills. C the most familiar language to those who knows/learns Win32.
About my backround - I know Perl pretty well, know and like Python too.
