[issue11427] ctypes from_buffer no longer accepts bytes

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

.from_buffer() expects a modifiable buffer, bytes type is immutable. If .from_buffer() accepted an immutable buffer, it was a bug and the bug was fixed.

If you want to use bytes, use .from_buffer_copy() instead of .from_buffer().
