我的函数中的参数太多 - Python

Question

I am trying to access my function in a dll and pass by value as integer in it. But I am getting a ValueError as:

Procedure probably called with too many arguments (4 bytes in excess)

My python .py script is as below:

func2.restype = c_int
func2.argtypes = [c_int]
func2(3)

...

My actual function in the dll is just a simple function like:

int DLLfun2(int argtest) { return argtest + 1; };

...

Looks like a simple problem, but I'm guessing I am missing out on something. Kindly help.

Cheers.

Answer 1

Looks weird because integer should be automatically cast, but try with a func2(c_int(3))

EDIT : According to the ctypes doc , this exception could be raised because of a wrong calling convention (cdecl instead of stdcall). But the function is still called (just a sort of warning :s)

Be sure of you declaration in your dll.

If you load your library with windll , it must use stdcall calling convention, otherwise, use the cdll module.
