I wish to test python’s ctypes by wrapping a function from a windows dll. Is there a windows dll, available on windows vista, which I could test with? For example, perhaps the dll has a function that returns the current time in string form.
If not, I guess I will have to write my own dll in C and Visual Studio Express.
The easiest to wrap will be the message box function: it is practically the hello-world of dll wrapping. It lives in
user32.dll. Take a look here
