What do you want to do with the wrapper?

I am not sure what you mean here.  Python code can directly import and 
call functions in dlls that represent Python extension modules and that 
are placed in the Pythonxx/dlls directory in your Windows Python 
installation.  Ctypes is mostly used to call functions in a dll that is 
*not* a python extension module, that was not written for Python.
