I cannot install pytables though from that source as it requires that I have
Python 2.6 installed. Is the GnuWin32\bin\lzo1.dll found in
http://www.pytables.org/download/lzo-win/
identical and can I use ctypes on that?
I've verified that I can load that one using either
dll=ctypes.windll[r'C:\Path\To\lzo1.dll']
or
dll=ctypes.oledll[r'C:\Path\To\lzo1.dll']
But I have no idea (yet) how to figure out the signature of the functions in
that DLL and how to access them? Nor do I understand if I should use a
windll or oledll ctypes object.
If I try tab completion on the
dll.
instance in an IPython shell, I do not see any named functions which seems
to be specific for the dll at all and relating to lzo:
dll._FuncPtr dll.__getitem__ dll.__repr__
dll.__class__ dll.__hash__ dll.__setattr__
dll.__delattr__ dll.__init__ dll.__str__
dll.__dict__ dll.__module__ dll.__weakref__
dll.__doc__ dll.__new__ dll._handle
dll.__getattr__ dll.__reduce__ dll._name
dll.__getattribute__ dll.__reduce_ex__
This may be due to a fundamental failure in my understanding of how to use
the ctypes module. (I am reading through the ctypes documentation, but I
find it very hard to understand, having no detailed knowledge about Windows
dlls nor C.
