windows中的python怎么在ubuntu中使用_在Ubuntu中导入python中的dll

I am using python 2.6.5 on an Ubuntu intalled server.

I need to integrate an API for our applicaion, in that case, i needed to use a DLL given to me by the API provider. Their example of code about api integration is written in Visual Basic... I made a search on google and found some examples of using ctypes , and i try using cdll and pydll, which caused the following error...

OSError: /home//some.dll: invalid ELF header

One possibility is using IronPython, but i do not have much information about ironpython so i am not sure if it will handle my needs completely..

Is there any available module that let me use that dll on python (or aynthing that i am missing from the exixting ones). It is hard to upgrade my python version?

DLLs are Windows creatures. The only way you'll be able to use a DLL is by using a Windows build of Python. You'll be able to run Windows Python on Ubuntu by having Windows installed inside a virtual machine. You also might be able to run it using Wine.

An alternative, of course, is to ask your API provider if they have a Linux version of the API.
