[some nice ctypes code]

Done. Works like a charm. Thanks for providing the code!

Also, for Python 2.5, these imports could probably be replaced with a ctypes call, though I'm not experienced enough w/ctypes to figure out what the call should be.

Happily, we have the ctypes guru here, and he's solved the problem for Windows at least.

Similarly, for the uuidgen module, you've not included the C source for that module or the setup.py incantations to build it.

Yes, the idea was that even though _uuidgen isn't included with core Python, users would magically benefit if they installed it (or if they happen to be using Python in a distribution that includes it); it's the same idea with the stuff that refers to Win32 extensions. Is the presence of _uuidgen sufficiently rare that i should leave out uuidgen_getnode() for now, then?
