How to use c structure in python "?

Question

I have a simple C function.

typedef struct {
    long unsigned int First;
    long unsigned int Second;
    int c;
} FRAGMENTS;

struct out {
    long unsigned int Four;
    FRAGMENTS fragments[10000];
};
struct out test() {
    struct out *out = (struct out *)malloc(sizeof(struct out));
    ...
    return *out
}

How to use this function in Python ? Any example for transform this structure to python object ( using python wrapper ) ?

Why are you returning an int from the C function? The right return type here is an out*. — Chinmay Kanchi

Do you have the data already "in" Python (i.e. from the network or a binary file)? Than you an use the struct module.
