Windows BYTE type is unsigned char, but ctypes defines it as signed. {{{ BYTE A byte (8 bits). This type is declared in WinDef.h as follows: typedef unsigned char BYTE; typedef unsigned char BYTE; }}} http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383751(v=vs.85).aspx http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/e5f39546989f/Lib/ctypes/wintypes.py#l4

All cbytes tests passed after the change was made but I've no idea as to the impact of this.
