How to use swig for compiled dll only and header file only

I have read several docs from the SWIG documentation (related to C ++ code), but cannot figure out if it is possible to generate a Python extension module in case I compiled a dll (no source code) and a header file with all the functions declared in the dll.
If anyone has the same problem and solve it, can you provide any useful example?
Thanks in advance.

Yes it is possible. SWIG only uses headers to create wrapper functions. Here's a simple SWIG file:

%module mymod
%{
#include "myheader.h"
%}

%include "myheader.h"

Then:



swig -python -c++ mymod.i

Then compile and link the generated code as a Python extension DLL. You will also need to link in the .lib for the wrapped DLL.
