title: Ctypes pro and con
body: <p>I have heard that Ctypes can cause crashes (or stop errors) in Python and windows. Should I stay away from their use? Where did I hear? It was back when I tried to control various aspects of windows, automation, that sort of thing.</p>
  
  <p>I hear of swig, but I see Ctypes more often than not. Any danger here? If so, what should I watch out for?</p>
