Calling DLLs from Python [Windows]

[Georgy Pruss]

Hi all,

How can I call a function which is in a Windows DLL? For example,

import win32api
lib_hnd = win32api.LoadLi brary( "user32.dll " )
if lib_hnd:
fn_addr = win32api.GetPro cAddress( lib_hnd, "MessageBee p" ) # returns int(2010532466)
if fn_addr:
# Here I'd like to call fn_addr. In C it would be plain fn_addr()
win32api.FreeLi brary( lib_hnd )

Google didn't help on this.

Thank you,
Georgy Pruss

ctypes is your friend
from ctypes import *

If you have t.dll exporting INCREMENT

# load dll
inc = windll.LoadLibr ary("t.dll")

# Initiate c-variable for the dll
n=c_int(1)

# Call the dll one
inc.INCREMENT(b yref(n))
print "The integer is now: %d" % n.value

# And a few times more:
for i in range(5):
inc.INCREMENT(b yref(n))
print "The square of the integer is now: %d" % n.value**2

Sure. The right question is half of the answer :)
Thanks!
