New submission from Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org>: If you assign a function a restype of c_char_p, you get back a Unicode string, but you should get a bytes object.
>>> from ctypes import * >>> strchr = cdll['libc.so.6'].strchr >>> strchr.restype = c_char_p >>> strchr.argtypes = [c_char_p, c_char] >>> strchr(b'abcde', b'd') 'de' ---------- assignee: theller components: ctypes messages: 89086 nosy: georg.brandl, theller priority: critical severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: c_char_p return value returns string, not bytes type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6239> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
