CTYPES wont work with Poser Python.

Ctypes is part of Python 2.5 (and above)

Poser Python is NOT a standard implementation of Python.

Allow a bit time to answer your questions about a kind of framework to use with an external app. I have to write an example because I'm not good enough with english to describe it clearly :)

It is possible to use a DLL with Poser Python. But it is more complicated as you may think. And less flexible (the reason why CTYPES is now part of Python). Have a look here: http://docs.python.org/ext/ext.html
