This is an incorrect declaration. "char" != "unsigned char". > cdef const_unsigned_char *c_data = data > > leads to "Cannot convert Python object to 'const_unsigned_char *'" > while "cdef char *c_data = data" works. > > Should the "ctypedef char const_unsigned_char" not ensure > that "char" and "const_unsigned_char" are used as synonyms? I assume you are not using the latest Cython (0.17pre) from github, are you? It should have a fix for this. Also note that libc.string contains declarations for "const char*" and friends.
