Getting stdout from ctypes module

Hi everyone, I have a program which is written in C and interfaced
with python via
Ctypes. The functions I call print stuff out to the console, using
the usual function printf. I would like to know if it is possible to
redirect the output of my C module to python. I'm working on windows
environment. Thanks in advance.

Is it a DLL or a program?
For a program I don't see how you could use ctypes to invoke things - and
for a DLL it's strange to use printf for output.
If you run it as a program, try the subprocess module.
