New submission from STINNER Victor:
ctypes doesn't support transparent conversion of double arguments.
Example code:
from ctypes import cdll, c_double
libm = cdll.LoadLibrary("libm.so")
sqrt = libm.sqrt
sqrt.argstype = (c_double,)
sqrt.restype = c_double
print sqrt(4.0)
I wrote a patch to fix it: see attached patch
