Dan O'Donovan added the comment: Ok, this fail is happening because we're using python3 unicode strings to call the ANSI MessageBoxA function. A possible fix;
Encode strings before passing the MessageBoxA (ctypes.txt.diff attached) Alternatively, calls could be made to the unicode MessageBoxW function, but someone who knows about ctypes / Win32 magic numbers would have to look at that.
