Would it be possible to write a program that converts a module that uses
ctypes to interface to a dll to a corresponding C extension program that
would compile to a drop in replacement extension module?
If implemented at all, I think the ctypes implementation itself could do
that. I.e. create all the function objects, let the Python script
declare the APIs, and then generate C code from those signatures.
The C code would then best be adjusted: you'd rather use the struct
declarations from the header files instead of the one you learned from
ctypes (which may be wrong, or processor-dependent, or
version-dependent). So a manual adjustment of header files would be
necessary afterwards.
