Do python ctypes differ from c++ when dealing with winapi? -
i prefer dynamic language python has easier syntax typed languages c++
i writing code extensively uses win32 api , question whether ctypes differ c++ when calling winapi in terms of performance , execution speed.
pure python code not fast c++. if planning on extensively using win32 api, converting python types c types , again expensive compared using c++ win32 api directly.
you should pywin32, library exposes of win32 api python. @eryksun mentions in comments below, using straight ctypes means having write wrappers c functions, definitions structures, , context managers resources, prone error. pywin32 alleviates commonly used win32 apis, doesn't contain them all.
