I don't know swig, but if all you have is a real C-API, try &

It's much easier to create bindings for, keeps you fully in

compilation to create
the actual binding.
You're right the ctypes does seem more pythonesque; however I'm still stuck trying return all these parameters
that the c api uses. my ctypes code is below. It just quits running when I try to print
one of the args I did a pass byref on, no error out, nothing. admittedly I'm a newbie to ctypes and not much of a c programmer
but I could sure use some help. my ctypes test code follows...
from ctypes import *

gcc -shared -o rug520.so rug520.c
the c api I want to call is like this.
int RugCalc( char * sMdsRecord,

int iQuarterlyFlag,
double nCmiArray[],

You need to create a proper library. The above doesn't do that - it
creates as simple object file.
I don't know how to really do that without using autoconf/automake.

I am using Python2.3 version with SWIG-1.3.19 to access C++ interface
provided by a DLL.
Some of its function returns MFC class objects like CString , CMap. I
tried to generate wrapper for these classes using SWIG by including
respective header files in .i file.
But it doesn't work. Swig reports hundreds parsing errors in MFC's
file.
Could you give me any directions..
Thank you in anticipation

I am interested in using python to script access to some hardware for
which there are existing drivers in the form of DLLs. The DLLs each
have four exported functions and a host of COM Properties and COM
Methods. The four exported functions are as follows:
DllCanUnloadNow
DllGetClassObject
DllRegisterServer
DllUnregisterServer

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(value_type)
same as *value_type; - mydll.foo2(*value_type)
same as **value_type; - mydll.foo3(**value_type)
How can pass it in python. If i do that:
rules=POINTER(value_type)
opr=rsl.StrengthOfRules(rules,10)

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
