Chris,

I don't think it would be prudent to see FWTools as a solution for this
particular problem.  First, FWTools is bound to the old bindings for the
time being (because they are needed by OpenEV).  Second, I'm afraid of change
and complexity and FWTools is already near the bounds of my ability to produce
it as a minor sideline.

I am in favor of us producing an easily and naturally installable Python
package for win32 that corresponds with our stable release binaries, as long
as there is someone willing to step up to the plate for that portion of the
work.

Best regards,
