This script defaults to a demo that reads an array of DWORD values<br>
from its own process. You can also provide it the PID, base address,<br>
and block size to read from another process. You could extend this<br>
with another option to configure the type of data read (e.g. char,<br>
float) based on simple ctypes format codes, e.g. &quot;L&quot; for a DWORD,=
<br>
where &quot;L&quot; is the value of `wintypes.DWORD._type_`. Or instead fol=
low<br>
WinDbg conventions (e.g. db, dw, dd).<br>
<br>
Note that I assign an errcheck function for the OpenProcess and<br>
ReadProcessMemory function pointers. In this case both use the same<br>
_check_zero function, which raises an OSError (or WindowsError in 2.x)<br>
when the call fails. Idiomatic Python programming uses exceptions for<br>
error handling and resource management (i.e. try/except/finally). Get<br>
the error code from the exception&#39;s `winerror` attribute when handling<=
br>
it. Here&#39;s the complete list of WinAPI error codes:<br>
