Can you provide a more complete example of how you're calling CallWindowProcW in new_scintilla2_proc? It seems like a function pointer is being called that doesn't have argtypes defined. For example: >>> user32 = ctypes.WinDLL('user32', use_last_error=True) >>> user32.CallWindowProcW(None, None, 0x14, 18446744072652653190, 0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 4: <class 'OverflowError'>: int too long to convert Perhaps in new_scintilla2_proc you're using a different instance of ctypes.WinDLL, or you switched to using ctypes.windll.user32. I recommend avoiding the global ctypes.LibraryLoader instances -- ctypes.cdll, ctypes.windll, and ctypes.oledll -- because using them leads to conflicts with other libraries, but you do need to use a single instance of ctypes.WinDLL for your user32 function prototypes, imported from a common module. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
