Creating an SDL2 window in C via Python3 ctypes

I want to create a small application using Python 3.3 and ctypes, in which the graphics and some other low level operations are done in a C shared library. I have some SDL2 code to create a simple window that works fine when run as a standalone executable, but not when called via ctypes as a shared library.

SDL doesn't produce any errors when called via ctypes, but the window is simply never displayed. I have to imagine this has something to do with threads or spawning processes, but searching hasn't netted me any results.

Your ctypes bindings might be wrong. Did you make sure that they correctly wrap the required functions of yours?

http://bitbucket.org/marcusva/py-sdl2 seems to contain ctypes-wrappers for SDL2, which you might use as reference for your own code.
