Passing a packed C structure to a c module

[Philippe Martin]

Well,

The call actually is an IOCtl: depending on the control code, the structure
has a different format.

Although the number of control codes/structures is finite, it would make the
wrapper function fairly large.

You seem to think that building the structure from python would be a
mistake: why is that ?

PS: the wrapper also has to work under multiple OSs

Regards,

Philippe
