Interesting, I didn't know that IronPython supports ctypes, too. I still
find ctypes a bit problematic because it doesn't us header files for its
types, structs and function definitions.
This is indeed a big problem with ctypes. Fortunately, a project exists
to correct it:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ctypes_configure/0.1
Anyone writing code with ctypes should be looking at ctypes_configure as
well.
