14.14.1 ctypes tutorial

Note: The code samples in this tutorial uses doctest to make sure that they actually work. Since some code samples behave differently under Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X, they contain doctest directives in comments.

Note: Quite some code samples references the ctypes c_int type. This type is an alias to the c_long type on 32-bit systems. So, you should not be confused if c_long is printed if you would expect c_int - they are actually the same type.
