I use win32lib because I just don't like the POKEmonish code
(allocate,poke,c_proc,
free) Without having most of the code constructing the API calls, there's more
time for focusing on the actual problem. It is apparent that creating an
API over API causes some speed/functionality loss.
I also don't want to binded too much to Micrsoft and their API. If we had kind
of
cross-platform win32lib...

That's just my opinion.
