situations (a narrow Python build with an underlying 4-bytes wchar_t
type), a single wchar_t character may correspond to a pair of
surrogates, which is represented as a unicode string of length 2. If
-you need to convert a wchar_t to an integer, do not use ``ord(x)``,

Pointers, structures and arrays are more complex: they don't have an
obvious Python equivalent. Thus, they correspond to objects of type
