Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

When defining a callback with ctypes (CFUNCTYPE) it would be helpful to be able to replicate variadic functionality
for instance, take the following c code

void FormatPrintf(datap* format, char* fmt, ...) {

    va_list args;
    int length = 0;

    va_start(args, fmt);
    length = vsnprintf(NULL, 0, fmt, args);
    va_end(args);
    if (format->length + length > format->size) {
        return;
    }

    va_start(args, fmt);
    (void)vsnprintf(format->buffer, length, fmt, args);
    va_end(args);
    return;
}

Making something compatible with ctypes

@CFUNCTYPE(None, ctypes.POINTER(datap), ctypes.c_char_p, ctypes.c_variadic)
def FormatPrintf(format, fmt, variadic)
    args = variadic.va_list
    ...

Maybe even could be handled as a pyobject list of ctypes objects as the variadic on the python side. Not sure what all the options are explicitly.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
