Description

Build ctypes interfaces for shared libraries with type hinting

Requires Python 3.6+

  • Less boilerplate;
  • Logical structuring;
  • Basic code generator (.so function -> ctyped function);
  • Useful helpers.
from ctyped.toolbox import Library

# Define library.
lib = Library('mylib.so')

@lib.structure
class Box:

    one: int
    two: str

# Type less with function names prefixes.
with lib.scope(prefix='mylib_'):

    # Describe function available in the library.
    @lib.function
    def some_func(title: str, year: int, box: Box) -> str:
        ...

# Bind ctype types to functions available in the library.
lib.bind_types()

# Call library function.
result_string = some_func('Hello!', 2019, Box(one=35, two='dummy'))
