There are two (and there could be many more) because the libraries' purpose and philosophy behind the approaches are different. I can only really speak for win32lib. Its aim is to make windows coding simpler than just using the MS supplied API. It tries to achieve this by handling a lot of the housekeeping chores a programmer would otherwise have to deal with. It tries for speed of development rather than speed of execution. As such, it makes some compromises to help the coder do their job faster. Underneath the library, it is just a fancy interface to the Windows API. You are quite free to mix API coding with win32lib coding. I've tried to expose as much as possible to the application coder without compromising its internal integrity. Its not complete yet. -- cheers, Derek Parnell
