Soon as you mentioned “ctypes”, I had to have a look. ;)

I’m not a fan of wildcard imports. I know you tend to need a lot of stuff 
from ctypes, but I prefer to do

    import ctypes as ct

so you can then write

    memedit.memedt.argtypes = [ct.c_char_p, ct.c_char_p, ct.c_int]
    memedit.memedt.restype = ct.c_int

etc.
