For binding ative code to Python by now a larger variety of tools and echnologies are available. This paper focuses on wrapping shared C ibraries, using Python's default ctypes, with the help of the matching source code generator from ctypeslib. %U http://ojs.pythonpapers.org/index.php/tppsc/article/view/69
