Pywinlite is a set of bindings for the Windows API written in pure Python.

As of right now, it's very incomplete; I am hoping it will become more complete as I start to use it (and, of course, implement the things I need).

If this project is useful or potentially useful to you, drop me a line. I'm currently going by the assumption that no one much cares except me.

I'm working based on these guidelines:
* Try to put logical groups of constants, types, and functions in a single module. MSDN is often a good guide for this but is not perfect.
* Export functions similar to those used in the C API. If it's easy, raise exceptions when errors occur and transform out parameters into return values.
* Wrap ANSI/Unicode functions generically so that one or the other can be selected at runtime. As of right now, this selection can be made one time at the start of a program, and it defaults to Unicode (no automatic ANSI fall-back just yet). ANSI functions can be used by calling winlitecfg.set_ansi(). Do not export A- or W-suffixed functions.
* If the API can be made less awkward by wrapping things in a Python type, do it. Otherwise, don't. Windows are wrapped (because making window classes can be awkward), but cursors are not.
* Release things even if they are only slightly useful, and mark the bits that are incomplete.

Enjoy.
