Can you post a small example of how you're trying to use cypes? I
don't think a full example would be necessary, but knowing the API of
one or two functions and how you're trying to call them from Python
would be useful.

Just as the off-chance your DLL was written in C++... I don't think
you can interface with ctypes directly. I think you would have to
write a little shim DLL which exposes a C-compatible API.
