Make sure the relevant python-dev packages are installed!

this is very nice!
thank you

Thank you so much! It is very helpful for me.

Thank you so much!

Hi, thanks a bunch for making this tutorial. I'm stuck on something and would appreciate your input:

1. What editor are you using? Did you have to configure something to enable intelli-sense?
2. I'm not able to get intellisense working for the imported .so module in pycharm, any tips?

Thank you so much!

me too

Thanks!!

I had a migraine over trying to use ctypes. You're video / code was a huge boon to my task!
