ctypes is standard Python package, ctypesgen is what is not much
maintained, although there are forks with some Python3 changes Sanjeet was
using. There are alternatives to ctypes such as cffi, Pietro did some
initial work. However given the fact that neither Sanjeet nor we mentors
are familiar with this, we decided to attempt to fix the ctypesgen library,
any other option would not fit the timeline of this GSoC. Sanjeet got
pretty far so hopefully we can eventually got it working fully.
