Greg Ewing:

But that won't help when you need to deal with third-party code that knows nothing about Python or its wrapped file objects, and calls the CRT (or one of the myriad extant CRTs, chosen at random:-) directly.

Can you explain exactly why there is a problem here? Its fairly normal under Windows to build applications that provide a generic plugin interface (think Netscape plugins or COM) that allow the plugins to be built with any compiler and runtime.
