Hello I'm having big trouble wrapping the win32 ReadFile() function with ctypes.
I wanted to allow the user to give a bytearray to this function, so that the writable buffer of this bytearray is directly used to receive the data from the file ; thus, no temporary copy in a separate ctype buffer would be required. However, I've found no way to provide ReadFile with a pointer to the inner buffer of the bytearray object. I get misc. TypeErrors and ValueErrors all the time, by trying to use the from_buffer() method or other ctypes functions. Is that actually posisble to expose with ctypes the internals of a python object to the system, or is that unsupported at the moment ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
