Convert python int into int16_t type

Question

I know that python int can be converted into an c int type using ctypes.
But how do I convert a python int into an int16_t type?

I have tried:

import ctypes as ct
my_c_number = ct.c_int16_t(1)
#Apparently ctypes library does not have c_int16_t attribute.

How about ctypes.c_int16? Also supports ctypes.c_uint16 if you are looking for that.
