STINNER Victor added the comment: Can you try to following command to get the size in bytes of the wchar_t type?
>>> import types >>> ctypes.sizeof(ctypes.c_wchar) 4 You can also use _PyObject_Dump() to dump your string: >>> import ctypes >>> x="abc" >>> _PyObject_Dump=ctypes.pythonapi._PyObject_Dump >>> _PyObject_Dump.argtypes=(ctypes.py_object,) >>> _PyObject_Dump(x) object : 'abc' type : str refcount: 5 address : 0xb70bf980 48 Then you can use _PyObject_Dump() on your string. You may also try: print(list(dirname)). It's really strange that something very common like string concatenation returns an invalid string. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17137> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
