It's release day ;-) ctypes 0.6.3 released ===================== Overview 'ctypes' is a Python package to create and manipulate C data types in Python, and to call functions in dynamic link libraries/shared dlls. It allows wrapping these libraries in pure Python. It works on Windows, Linux and MacOS X (the latter require that your machine is supported by libffi). Changes A critical bug with pointer instances was fixed, this makes the 'incomplete types' sample code in the tutorial actually work. All ctypes objects are now correctly garbarge collected. This *may* lead to crashes in your program (especially with callback functions, or pointers handed out to longer running C code). You must keep a reference in Python to any object as long as it is used in foreign C code. All other known bugs have been fixed. Again, a lot of changes to the COM package, but all this is still work in progress and unstable, and it has to be properly documented. Homepage Enjoy, Thomas
