Of course it is not  one-day task. Remapping of Xlib function calls to Win32

GDI is not trivial task.

 Drawing module uses Xlib or GDI or Aqua, i.e. pre-existing C code.
Therefore
ctypes based implementation will be more flexible and doesn't require
recompilation on each platform. It's a pure Python code without native part.
