Hi all,

I just noticed a small bug in the code example for bit fields on this page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/BitManipulation

There is a ctypes.Union defined as follows:

    class Flags( ctypes.Union ):
        _fields_ = [
                    ("b",      Flags_bits ),
                    ("asByte", c_uint8    )
                   ]
        _anonymous_ = ("b")

However, the `_anonymous_` attribute should be a tuple, i.e. the following would be correct:

    _anonymous_ = ("b",)

I guess in the given example it works without the comma since the name "b" consists of only one character and therefore "b"[0] == ("b",)[0] but for names with more than one char it does not work like this.

It would be great if someone with permission to edit the page could fix this (I don't have an account and I think it would not be worth the effort to create one for such a tiny edit).

Best regards,
Felix
