I think ctypes shines when it comes to fast prototyping, since you can iterate on the python bindings without a compilation step. It can also simplify distribution since the bindings can be pure python. Where it's arguably not so good is performance and maintainability.
- jofer 3y agoYeah, I'd agree with that. Ctypes does have advantages for several use cases, and quick iteration is one of those, for sure. It's definitely a good tool to have in your toolbox!
