Moreover, the documentation and docstring uses the name "address" and "addr" respectively which are misleading because it is asking for ctypes.c_char_p or ctypes.c_wchar_p which are C pointer types, it is not asking for the address of instances of ctypes.c_char_p or ctypes.c_wchar_p. Therefore a change in the documentation and docstring is required. Note - If this issue is confirmed then I'll submit a PR to apply the change as described in this issue. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, shreyanavigyan title: ctypes string_at/wstring_at bad argument name -> ctypes string_at/wstring_at - bad argument name used in docs and in docstring _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43803> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
