Using ctypes is a powerful way to connect Python with arbitrary
C-code. Its advantages for extending Python include

- clean separation of C code from Python code

- no need to learn a new syntax except Python and C

- allows reuse of C code

- functionality in shared libraries written for other purposes can be
obtained with a simple Python wrapper and search for the library.


- easy integration with NumPy through the ctypes attribute

- full argument checking with the ndpointer class factory
