Accessing DLLs in Python

I have a DLL that I need to access through Python, but for some reason can't find any documentation on how to do so. I know a popular method is to use ctypes, but doesn't Python have a built in way of accessing DLLs?

There's a whole lot of info about the use of C in Python, I havn't used it before but here's the link http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/ext.html

You might also wana look around on comp.lang.python or search for python and dlls on google.

Hope you find what your looking for, when you do would be interested to see.

Have fun,
Mark.
