[issue29131] Calling printf from the cdll does not print the full string
mike peremsky added the comment: I appreciate the feedback, but as I had originally mentioned. I am following the "Gray Hat Python - Python Programming for Hackers and Reverse Engineers" book and was attempting to use Python 3 instead of Python 2 (as was used in the book). The cdll code is taken from the book itself. There is nothing that I personally plan on doing with this cdll other than to follow along in the book and become educated. "Though if you do really want to use the (very) old msvcrt DLL rather than the proper functionality" If there are better libraries to use I would be interested in knowing what those are. What is the "proper functionality"?. I like to educate myself and would like to attempt to follow the book using Python 3 and current libraries. -- ___ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29131> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue29131] Calling printf from the cdll does not print the full string
New submission from mike peremsky:
I am going throught he Gray Hat Python book and installed Python 3.7 (32-bit)
on a windows x64 machine. The following code will only print the first
character of the passed string argument. The same code run on Python 2.7 will
print the correct string value.
from ctypes import *
msvcrt = cdll.msvcrt
message_string = "Hello World!\n"
msvcrt.printf("Testing: %s", message_string)
Output:
T
