    Bounty Description

    Bounty Description

    I have around 500 lines of C++ code that need to be converted into Python. It uses some Windows APIs to work. Repo Link: https://github.com/roshkins/IddSampleDriver. Translate the IddSampleDriver/Driver.cpp file to Python. I don't need all the functions translated, just the ones to make the program work. This should be doable with ChatGPT or similar tools; I don't mind if you use those, I just need the code to be translated.

    Problem Description

    IddSampleDriver allows virtual displays to be created without any physical hardware. This is very useful when wanting to extend screen size, among other things. However, the code is written in C++ utilizing Windows APIs. It is also made to be a driver. I would like to convert this to Python and make it a normal program, not a driver. I just need the core functionality - I don't need the fancy wrapper functions which make the program user-friendly to be translated. Just convert the code to python. I don't mind it having multiple files or many dependencies.

    Acceptance Criteria

    I should be able to run the code successfully after installing the dependencies if any. It can use any Windows API Python library (ctypes, win32api, etc).

    Future Work

    If all works out well, the bounty hunter may be assigned future bounties with increasing amounts of pay.
