the 1<sup>st</sup> object will always have an id of 43. If you did “id(100)” first and then looked at ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE then you’d see it’d be 0x2C.</p>

</div>
</div><div><div></div><div class="h5">
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am experimenting with getting a Python library running in IronPython that relies on PyBonjour (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/pybonjour/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/pybonjour/</a>).</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">PyBonjour is a pure python library interfacing with the systems bonjour installation. I am completely unexperienced with CTypes, so what I am proposing now might seem naïve.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the top of the pybonjour.py is code looking like this:</p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">if sys.platform == 'win32':</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> # Need to use the stdcall variants</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> _libdnssd = ctypes.windll.dnssd</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> _CFunc = ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">IronPython's sys.platform evaluates to 'cli', so I have tried to change the check to if sys.platform == 'win32' or sys.platform == 'cli':</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This seems to work, but everytime a C function is called now, Python complains that theres an argument too much.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">E.g. TypeError: CFunctionType() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given). My suggestion is that ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE in IronPython might be a wrong value? (In IronPython it seems to always be 0x000000000000002B, whereas in CPython the value varies)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have an idea of how to go about this?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It should be noted that I have pybonjour running with the standard CPython on Windows.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Clemens</p>
