A (partial) reimplementation of pywin32 using ctypes/cffi

Project description

Documentation Status

A reimplementation of pywin32 that is pure python. The default behaviour will try to use cffi (>= 1.3.0), if available, and fall back to using ctypes. Please note that there is no need to have a compiler available on installation or at runtime.

Usage

Example:

# Equivalent to 'import win32api' from pywin32.
from win32ctypes.pywin32 import win32api

win32api.LoadLibraryEx(sys.executable, 0, win32api.LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE)

Development setup

The following should be good enough:

pip install -r test_requirements.txt
python install -e .
