From what we can tell (see e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18775389/is-there-a-way-to-load-the-const...),
We had a question about how to implement one of the suggested improvements: "- The code should more carefully check that the whole ctypes signature matches" there is no way to automatically generate the ctypes function signature directly from a .h header file or c function prototype. This means that any ctypes library function must be assumed to have the function signature that the user claims it does (by specifying argtypes & restype). Unfortunately, the ctypes library load & specification commands are executed by the user, not by the library, so there's no way to enforce the function signature. Maybe there's a way in Cython or f2py, but we think that ctypes should probably be supported anyway, even if it is with an "use at own risk" disclaimer.

Thank you to everyone involved in assisting to move this forward. It is definitely a confusing project for me but something I am committed to finishing and getting in the library as soon as possible. I appreciate the help and I will do my best to address the issues Pauli presented.
Thanks, Brian
