   :alt: Documentation Status

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)

.. note::

   Currently pywin32ctypes implements only a very small subset

   of pywin32, for internal needs at Enthought. We do welcome

   additional features and PRs, though.

Development setup

=================

The following should be good enough::

  pip install -r test_requirements.txt

  python install -e .

.. note::

   - While pywin32-ctypes should regularly be tested on windows, you can also

     develop/test on unix by using wine
