In view of the recent discussion of Python bindings, here is some 
private correspondence from a nommember. He seems to have some good 
ideas.

I think I'll let Jamie make any commits of Python material.

Thanks,
John

John,

I have had another look at the win32 dll and the Python bindings and I
have made it work. The issue was that I had copied the dll in the
package dir rather than a system dir where Windows normally searches
for dll's. To find this out I had to read the docs for the ctypes
module (in the Python standard library). I have also added support for
Liblouis to my Transcribo program (10 lines). But over all this is
still in alpha stage.

Regards

Leo
