[Tutor] Python C extension - which method?

[Brad M]

Hi all:

I want to create a C-based memory scanner for Python, and so far this is
how I do it:

Python:

from ctypes import cdll
mydll = cdll.LoadLibrary('hello.dll')
print(mydll.say_something())



and hello.dll:

#include <stdio.h>
__declspec(dllexport) int say_something()
{
    return 1980;
}


so the printout is "1980"


Is this alright? I am aware that there is another much more complicated
method such as this:

Is my method alright?

Thanks!
