Ctypes module documentation can be little hard to
grasp, so I wrote a practical example that reads all
function names from dll export directory.

It has structures, pointer arithmetic, and function
prototype with default parameters.

Maybe it fits somewhere in documentation...

I guess that a ~300 line module is too large to add to the
documentation.

OTOH, this module implements very useful functionality. If
you give me the
permission to distribute this module under the MIT license,
I would like to
add it to a 'ctypeslib' supplemental package (which will
also contain other
useful stuff).

Oh, and the same functionality for ELF-based platforms would
be very nice ;-).

I've added this as a module ctypeslib.contrib.get_exports, in the SVN repository at http://svn.python.org/projects/ctypes/trunk/ctypeslib.

Thanks, leppton (if you would like to see your real name in the code somewhere please tell me so).
