| Another ctypes patch for discussion, if someone cares. This patch allows to pass a tuple of the correct size, a ctypes pointer to the correct itemtype, or None to foreign functions that expect ctypes array instances. 'None' is passed as a NULL pointer. Currently, only array instances are accepted. | ||

| Lenard Lindstrom pointed out in a post to the ctypes-users list that pointer instances must not be accepted. Uploaded new patch ctypes-array-2.patch. | ||

| Lenard Lindstrom convinced me that tuples should not be allowed when an array is expected. |
