I don't think it belongs in the above section because 'void' is not a type. > http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/ctypes-return-types.html A note could probably be added to this section. > Finding a way to suggest improving those docs would help more than > suggesting an FAQ, I agree. > >> > > > http://effbot.org/pyfaq/suggest.htm >> > FAQ: How do I say unsigned char in ctypes? >> That's in the ctypes documentation, where it belongs. > > Yes and no.
