Does anyone know a spiffy way to use C header files in Python? For example I have a C program that includes a global variable:
typedef struct ImageInfo { uint8_t revisionMajor; uint8_t revisionMinor; uint16_t checksum; } ImageInfo; ImageInfo gImageInfo; /* Placed at a specific address by the linker */ I would like to be able to take the binary generated by the C compiler/linker and parse this structure (and possibly modify it) with a Python script.

A header file is a file with extension . h which contains C function declarations and macro definitions to be shared between several source files. There are two types of header files: the files that the programmer writes and the files that comes with your compiler.
Yes, the user can create his/her own custom header files in C. It helps you to manage the user-defined methods, global variables, and structures in a separate file, which can be used in different modules.
You can use C Standard I/O from the standard C header <stdio. h> in C++ programs because C Standard I/O is part of C++.
This was mentioned on SO yesterday; I haven't had a chance to check it out more thoroughly yet, but I'm meaning to. The pycparser, a "C parser and AST generator written in Python".
