Re: WindowsXP/ CTypes - How to convert ctypes array to a string?

I've used CTYPES module to access a function from a dll. This function
provides me the version of the dll. This information is accessible to
me as an array of 4 long inetegers. information as :
2, 1, 5, 0

I want to display these elements concatenated as "v2.1.5.0". This
string ( I'm thinking of writing the above 4 array elements to a
string) is to be displayed as label in a GUI ( the GUI used is Tk)

Please suggest how can I write these elements to a string to get me
the desired results as "v2.1.5.0". And, is writing to a string is
right way?
any special reason why you're not reading replies to your previous post?

here's what I wrote last time.

expecting that Python/ctypes should be able to figure out that you
want an array of 4 integers printed as a dot-separated string is a
bit optimistic, perhaps. but nothing that a little explicit string
formatting cannot fix:
>>from ctypes import *
versionArr = c_long * 4
version = versionArr(1, 2, 3, 4)
"%d.%d.%d.% d" % tuple(version)
'1.2.3.4'

inserting a "v" in the format string gives you the required result:
>>"v%d.%d.%d.%d " % tuple(version)
'v1.2.3.4'

Hi, I need to get the FileVersion of some files on Windows. The best way look like to use function GetFileVersionInfo from the Windows API. I first try with pywin32 and it work well, but with ctypes now included in Python 2.5, use it look like a good idea. So I write the code below that work fine, but I'm not sure it's the best way to do what I want. My main concern is about the codepages extraction: could I use a struct to make the job...

In an earlier post, I was interested in passing a pointer to a structure to fcntl.ioctl. This works: c = create_string_buffer (...) args = struct.pack("iP", len(c), cast (pointer (c), c_void_p).value) err = fcntl.ioctl(eos_fd, request, args) Now to do the same with ctypes, I have one problem.
