Steve Dower added the comment:
So the repr that's there for c_char_p is currently::
"%s(%s)" % (self.__class__.__name__, cast(self, c_void_p).value)
But if I remove the override then it renders the value as b'abc'. Basically, we
can have one of:
>>> from ctypes import *
>>> cast(create_string_buffer(b'abc'), c_char_p)
c_char_p(b'abc')
or
>>> cast(create_string_buffer(b'abc'), c_char_p)
c_char_p(52808208)
I prefer the former (remove c_char_p.__repr__ completely), but the latter is
clearly there for some reason. Any opinions?
