Thanks for the FUD. I love it when someone, on the basis of one failed
experiment, trash-talks an excellent piece of software that would
solve the OP's problem.
It *is* true that the learning curve for Cython is steeper than that
of ctypes. But for anything more complex than simple "call a function
with no arguments", ctypes rapidly gets fairly complex and messy - and
the docs are not exactly the best. At that point, investing the time
in learning how to use Cython definitely pays off.
But just staying with the "function with no arguments" for the minute
(the equivalent of Hello World for this exercise), how would it be done
in Cython? Would a working example be simple enough to show in a usenet
post?
Another option for the OP is cffi,
And perhaps another example here.
(cffi doesn't seem to be part of any of my pythons, so that would be an
obstacle for me as installing extra stuff rarely seems to work. Having
said that, I located pip.exe, trying typing 'pip install cffi' and it
seemed to be doing something but then failed with a bunch of errors.)
