Actually, looking at the cffi documentation, I can't see how I'd translate the following very simple example of something I do quite a lot in ctypes: from ctypes import windll MessageBox = windll.User32.MessageBoxW MessageBox(0, "Hello, world!", "Title", 0) Note - I wrote this from memory, I honestly don't know without looking it up the precise argument types for MessageBoxW - and even if I did, I suspect they would all be macros from windows.h. I don't want to invoke the C compiler by using verify, and I don't see in the docs how I'd get the macro definitions any other way. If anyone could show me a cffi equivalent, I'd be very grateful.
