Question

I have a buffer like:

bufstr = ctypes.create_string_buffer("Test", 32)

How I obtain the address of that buffer? i.e. the one displayed if I do:

print bufstr

like:

<ctypes.c_char_Array_32 object at 0x042ACAD0>

I know I can pass it with byref(), for example; but what if I just want to get that address (aside from slicing that string!)?

Thanks!

Use ctypes.addressof.

ctypes.addressof(bufstr)
