Newbie: SWIG or SIP?

[Larry Bates]

You can call the .DLL file by using a solution
I wrote (and donated) some time ago.  It is located here:

You will need calldll.pyd available here:

I've used this solution a LOT and it has worked with .DLLs
from many different manufacturers.  Tricky part is having a
full definition of API to dll (e.g. argument types) and using
struct module to communicate between Python and the .DLL.
