Re: ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetProcAddress returns address of 0

BTW, there is a complete lack of DirectDraw examples out there, 
especially using Python. If someone has links to such I'd appreciate 
it, especially those for 3D surfaces. (We're slowly trying to build 
an accelerated wxPyPlot-like widget that uses OpenGL/DirectDraw - and 
I mean slowly...)
