Re: WindowsXP / CTypes Module - unable to access function in a dll

On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 11:04 AM, <du**********@g mail.comwrote:
Hi,

I'm using the CTYPES module of python to load a dll. My dll contains a
Get_Version function as:
long __stdcall af1xEvdoRDll_Ge tVersion(long version[4]);

This function accepts a long array of 4 elements.

Following is the python code I've written:

from ctypes import *
abc = windll.af1xEvdo RDll
GetVersion = abc.af1xEvdoRDl l_GetVersion
print GetVersion
versionArr = c_long * 4 #array of 4 longs
version = versionArr(0, 0, 0, 0) # initializing all elements to 0
GetVersion(vers ion) #calling dll function
print version

I'm getting the following output:
<_FuncPtr object at 0x00A1EB70>
<__main__.c_lon g_Array_4 object at 0x00A86300>

But I'm not getting the desired output which I expect as : 2.1.5.0
Please suggest what am I missig?
Sorry, the problem is resolved. The code in fact is correct and I got
the right answers. It is just that I was not priting results in a
right manner.
I added : print i in version : print i

this solved my problem.

Cheers.

Hi, I can't figure out why ctypes won't load the DLL I need to use. I've tried everything I can find (and the ctypes website is down at the moment). Here's what I've seen so far. I've added the file arapi51.dll to the system32 directory. However when I tried to access it I see this: Traceback (most recent call last):
