"Glorious" and "simplicity" are definitely words I've never read about ctypes before.

"Wonky" and "terrifying", a lot more. ctypes is... useful, but it also uses somewhat strange terminology which can be hard to match to C's as it's trying to bridge C and Python. And when getting it wrong is an UB, it's pretty frustrating.
