Nothing fancy: I compile them with midl.

Thanks!

Which object does the SWIG wrapper expect? Would a bufferobject suffice?
If this is the case, you could call buffer() on a ctypes object, maybe one
created with 'ctypes.create_string_buffer(size_in_bytes)'. Every ctypes
type instance supports the buffer protocol.

That might also work.
