Creating Python wrapper for DLL

Tim
I have a DLL, and a C .h file that exports a bunch of functions from
the DLL. I would like to create a Python extension module for these
functions.

I have read the "Extending and Embedding" documentation in the Python
2.4 release. I understand how to extend C code for use in Python if I
have access to the C source code (I think). But...

Will I be able to create Python extensions for my DLL functions if I do
not have access to the DLL source code?
