A (partial) reimplementation of pywin32 using ctypes/cffi
Project description
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 .
