LPCVOID is a pointer type; don't use it as a variable name because it's confusing to someone who's reading your code. The `BaseAddress` field is an LPVOID, which is an alias for ctypes.c_void_p. Simple C types such as c_void_p are automatically converted to Python native types such as int, bytes, and str. It's fine that mbi.BaseAddress is a Python int. With argtypes defined for ReadProcessMemory, ctypes will convert the int back to a void pointer for you automatically. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
