    Summary: C libraries and data types wrapper helper for Python
    Description: 
    ctypes is an advanced ffi (Foreign Function Interface) package for
    Python 2.3 and higher.
    
    ctypes allows to call functions exposed from dlls/shared libraries and
    has extensive facilities to create, access and manipulate simple and
    complicated C data types in Python - in other words: wrap libraries in
    pure Python. It is even possible to implement C callback functions in
    pure Python.
    
    ctypes now includes a code generator toolchain which allows automatic
    creation of library wrappers from C header files.
