Hi, I am using ctypes to access a function in a DLL using Python 3.3 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit:
dplGetPageText = dpl.DPLGetPageText dplGetPageText.argtypes = (ctypes.c_int, ctypes.c_int) dplGetPageText.restype = ctypes.c_wchar_p Python returns this as a str with the raw bytes already decoded. Unfortunately, when the returned text contains some special characters (e.g. © or fi) it is not encoded correctly. This may be a problem with Windows or with ctypes or with the library I'm using; or of course, it could be my own mistake. To find out, I'd like to change the restype to give me the raw bytes so that I can view them and if necessary decode them myself. Can anyone tell me how to change the restype to get the bytes? Thanks! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
