I'm a bit confused here. I thought the primary point of ctypes was to be
able to access existing, non-python-aware dlls from Python without
writing C code.
In this case, you're writing a dll that understands PyObjects (or, I
assume, a particular PyObject -- a numarray). Why not just forget ctypes
and write a regular old extension?
Or use Pyrex, or Boost, or.....
Maybe ctypes has some real advantages I don't get.
