cffi_example

This is a working example of how to use cffi when you have a bunch of already written .h and .c files that you want to bundle into some Python code without using ctypes.

This repo should be used as a template for anyone that wants to write faster code or wrap their C code, but doesn't want to deal with following the regular cffi examples or fiddling with ctypes.

The gist is the following:

1. Have a directory structure similar to this one, with a src, include, and project directory.
2. Use setup.py to compile everything and link the python package with the .so file created.
3. Use __init__.py to access your library when you do an import.

That's it. In this project you can get everything working immediately by changing mycffi to whatever project name you need.
