Any c header parser for generate ctypes module?

[Victor Lin]

Hi,

I am writing python binding for some c library. It is really a super
boring job. Copy... paste... modify.. copy paste...modify.... I am
wondering, I am a programmer, why I can't do this job like a
programmer? So I think the best way to write binding for those c
libraries, is to write a parser that parse header of c library and
generate ctypes python module automatically. My question is, is there
any available tools can achieve this? If not, what tool can I use to
such a job easily. I need a c parser, is there any C parser written in
python?

Thanks.
Victor Lin.

GCCXML is usually used to create ctypes-structures from headers.
