Basically you just compile your C code as a regular C code dll. ctypes
then allows you to access the functions in the dll very easily.
Does that work with C++ code too or just C?
Hi..
I havenot tried..before with dll, is there any help material and for
me my API in C has almost 20 c files, so will it be feasible

It is worth looking into it. I found ctypes to be very easy. I had the
example up and running in minutes. I have also figured out how to do
things like return arrays to Python. It isn't that hard. I like the
fact that I don't have to think about reference counting or PyObjects
etc. If you are doing simple function calls ctypes is very easy.
My C code looks like C code. It has no Python stuff at all. My Python
code has just a few calls to the ctypes module. I guess that's one
thing I like about it is that my C code looks like C code and my Python
code looks like Python code, (not much spilling over).
I'm sure it's not perfect, but it seems a lot easier than SWIG to me.
