Question

I wrote below dll called djj.dll it has a file called try.cpp with following code

#include<stdio.h> 

int print(){ 

return 4; 

} 

Now, i build this dll and go to python idle.

I type print windll.djj.print . It gives syntax error .WHY??

As Aaron Gallagher said, print is a Python keyword. Also it’s unusual for a compiled DLL to use the standard Windows calling convention (i.e. windll). It’s more likely to use cdecl (i.e. cdll). Here’s an approach that should work:

djj = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('djj.dll')
my_print = getattr(djj, 'print')
x = my_print() #x is 4
