ctypes - swig - pointer

I've a problem with dll function colled with python/ctypes. My
functions (C) requred a typedef int "value_type " in tree different
way:
same as value_type; - mydll.foo1(valu e_type)
same as *value_type; - mydll.foo2(*val ue_type)
same as **value_type; - mydll.foo3(**va lue_type)

How can pass it in python. If i do that:
rules=POINTER(v alue_type)
opr=rsl.Strengt hOfRules(rules, 10)
R=POINTER(rules )

I've this exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\temp\cRSL.p y", line 49, in <module>
opr=rsl.Strengt hOfRules(rules, 10) #/* Creates a table of rules
strengths. */
ArgumentError: argument 1: <type 'exceptions.Typ eError'>: Don't know
how to convert parameter 1

I've tried with swig (cpointer.i) olso but the library don't work
correctly and rules look empty. I need help. Could anybody give mi it?

Posted in a previous thread was some Python code for accessing Window's Simple MAPI api using the ctypes module. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/56fa74cdba9b7be9 This Simple MAPI module was Ian's completed version of an example I had posted in an earlier message.

hi all and before I start I apologise if I have this completely muddled up but here goes. I'm trying to call functions from a dll file in a python script but I can't work out what functions are available. I'm using ctypes. I've tried using dir(ctypes_object) but the resultant output looks like a list of standard functions and not the ones I'm looking for. Also how can I tell if the dll was written in C or C++ as I understand C++ dlls...

I'm not able to build IP2Location's Python interface so I'm trying to use ctypes to call its C interface. The functions return a pointer to the struct below. I haven't been able to figure out how I should declare the return type of the functions and read the fields. Any hint is appreciated. typedef struct { char *country_short; char *country_long;

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
