Hi Axel,
 
I have ported a large portion of Thomas's code to provide similar
functionality to Java. Uninspiringly, I have called it ctypes4j
http://ctypes4j.sourceforge.net/. Additionally, it contains the beginnings
of a python library bridging the ctypes4j API to that defined by Thomas in
ctypes. 
 
Despite the low version number, it has been pretty stable for about a year
or so now.
 
Best regards,
 
bradley

Subject: [ctypes-users] jython


Dear list!
 
For accessing DLLs from python Thomas provides us with ctypes.
For accessing DLLs from jython/java, there is JNI. From what I've seen on
the web, from a user's point of view, they look quite similar, in other
words you load the DLL, define the c structures as classes and go ahead.
 
I wonder if anybody has thought or maybe even implemented a layer that will
enable a ctypes programm to run in jython, using the JNI approach? I could
very well imagine that by modifying the
xml2py script one could auto-gerenate the stub code for jython as well. Only
problem is, that
I don't speak java. 
 
Any thoughts?

Thanx,
Axel
