buffer_info() for arrays but not structs?

[Gene Chiaramonte]

Good point. duh :-(

I have been using windll from Sam Rushing to get a pointer to a variable.

var1 = windll.membuf(struct.pack('f', 0.0))
var1 = struct.unpack('f', var1.mb.read())

With the array module you can do this:

temp_array = array.array('h', [1, 2, 3])
temp_array_ptr = order_array.buffer_info()[0]

Is there a way to get the address of a variable or struct using the standard
python libraries? I'm wondering if there is a python function to do this
that I have not found.
