[pypy-issue] [issue1233] str() types can't be used with ctypes's py_object()

[Armin Rigo]

Armin Rigo <armin.rigo at gmail.com> added the comment:

I suppose "py_object" can be supported with enough hacks.  You're free to try,
too: start with writing py_object.__init__(x) that stores 'x' in a global list
and returns the index.  It may look obscure, but that's exactly how we would
implement it on pypy.  More precisely, we would add some (pure Python) logic to
lib_pypy/_ctypes/*.py.
