But, "marshal.dumps" creates a temporary object, "buffer" creates another temporary to wrap it, but when that statement ends, both temporary objects no longer have any references, so they will get garbage collected. Won't they? Now, if you had written it this way: hold_me = marshal.dumps( message ) address, length = win32gui.PyGetBufferAddressandLen( buffer(hold_me) ) then I think it would work, because the marshaled buffer still has a reference. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
