way is to instantiate one of the following classes:


.. class:: CDLL(name, mode=DEFAULT_MODE, handle=None, use_errno=False, use_last_error=False, winmode=0)
.. class:: CDLL(name, mode=DEFAULT_MODE, handle=None, use_errno=False, use_last_error=False, winmode=None)

Instances of this class represent loaded shared libraries. Functions in these
libraries use the standard C calling convention, and are assumed to return
:c:type:`int`.


.. class:: OleDLL(name, mode=DEFAULT_MODE, handle=None, use_errno=False, use_last_error=False, winmode=0)

The *winmode* parameter is used on Windows to specify how the library is loaded
(since *mode* is ignored). It takes any value that is valid for the Win32 API
``LoadLibraryEx`` flags parameter. When omitted, the default is to use the flags
that result in the most secure DLL load to avoiding issues such as DLL
``LoadLibraryEx`` flags parameter. When it is ``None``, the default is to use
the flags that result in the most secure DLL load to avoiding issues such as DLL
hijacking. Passing the full path to the DLL is the safest way to ensure the
correct library and dependencies are loaded.
