   There's a long standing error in one of one examples in section
16.17.2.4 Function Prototypes
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html?highlight=ctypes#function-prototypes>
of the documentation for the ctypes module. It's where there's an
example demonstrating how to wrap the Windows MessageBoxA function.

Please see stackoverflow.com question titled /The ctypes wraps
“MessageBoxA” example didn't work in python33/
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18164994/the-ctypes-wraps-messageboxa-example-didnt-work-in-python33/18165271#18165271>
for more details and a possible fix.
