A library for connecting to and making use of foreign functions, which are functions written in a foreign (to Python) language and usually not particularly designed with Python in mind. | Is the concept different from a "package"? | Is the concept different from a "module"? Ctypes is one particular module with the particular purpose given. A module in general can be for any purpose. Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
