Im required to import ha certain dll called 'NHunspell.dll' which is used for Spell Checking purposes. I am using Python for the software. Although I checked out several websites to properly use ctypes, I have been unable to load the dll properly.

When I use this code.

  from ctypes import *
  hunspell = cdll.LoadLibrary['Hunspellx64.dll']

I get an error

  hunspell = cdll.LoadLibrary['Hunspellx64.dll']
  TypeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

I guess it might a problem with the structure of the dll. But I have no idea how to import the dll properly.
