how to create .dll files from .c files

gcc -shared -o main.dll main.c

more optimized cmd

gcc -O2 -Wall -shared -o main.dll main.c

learning use c X python when

Situation Is ctypes production-safe? Simple, typed C APIs ✅ Yes You control the C code ✅ Yes You skip argtypes/restype ❌ No Complex memory management involved ⚠️ No (use cffi or cython)

Capability Why Python Can’t or Shouldn’t What C Gives You
⚙️ Low-level memory control Python has no manual memory control C has malloc, free, pointers
💥 Direct hardware access Python is OS-abstracted C can talk to ports, devices, BIOS
🧠 Real-time systems Python has garbage collection & latency C gives deterministic control
🚀 Microcontroller programming (embedded) Python doesn’t run on bare metal (except MicroPython) C is used for Arduino, ARM, etc.
Ultra-fast execution (critical code paths) Python is interpreted, slower C compiles to blazing-fast native code
🧩 Operating system kernels / drivers Python is too high-level C powers Linux, Windows drivers, etc.
📦 Tiny executables (no interpreter needed) Python requires a runtime C makes pure native .exe / .elf
🔐 True systems-level security Python has too many layers C can sandbox, manage syscalls, etc.
🎮 Graphics/game engines (low latency) Python is too slow for real-time rendering loops C powers Unity backend, Unreal Engine core
🌐 High-performance networking (raw sockets, packet injection) Python too slow, limited C can do packet crafting, sniffing, etc.
Question Python? C?
Do I need low-level access?
Do I need maximum speed? ⚠️
Am I working close to hardware or OS internals?
Do I need rapid development and safety?
