Using swig to use an existing dll/library

[peter.o.mueller]

Hi together,

i have a Windows DLL in C that is internally multithreaded and provides
a callback function to signal specific events. As I understood one can
use "normal" C-code with swig. Is it also possible to use existing
DLLs? Does swig can also handel the callback method? If not - is there
another wrapper toolkit that can do that?

Thanks,
Peter

You should be able to access regular dlls and handle callbacks with
the ctypes module without needing to resort to any real c code:
