DLL functions that return char *

[Gaetan Corneau]

Hi,

I want to use windll to call a few simple functions in a DLL. Many of those
functions return char *. 
Ex:
	char* GetName(); // export stuff omitted

The buffer is owned by the DLL and overwritten for each call. How can I
convert the returned value to a valid Python string?

Thanks,
