Please don't post using HTML.  It makes the message hard to
read for many people, and this is Usenet/the mailing list,
not the web.  Thank you.

The server doesn't know what language is used for the client, and vice
versa.  Just use the Ddeclient.py example as a starting point to write
your own client.  It should work fine with the C++ server if you know
how to use DDE.

If you don't know how to use DDE, then this probably isn't a Python 
question yet, and you should be doing more research and experimenting
before you ask for help.  If you have trouble, post small examples of your
failing code and make sure to include enough detail that others can
help you out.
