The very beginning of the ctypes documentation has documentation to that effect: "Note: Some code samples reference the ctypes c_int type. This type is an alias for the c_long type on 32-bit systems. So, you should not be confused if c_long is printed if you would expect c_int — they are actually the same type." http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ctypes.html#ctypes-tutorial Does that address your suggestion? ---------- nosy: +chris.jerdonek status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16192> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
