May look at ctypes and its c_char_p type

Documentation says:
http://python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/reference.html#fundamental-data-types

c_char_p
     Represents the C char * datatype, which must be a pointer to a 
zero-terminated string. The constructor accepts an integer address, or a 
string.

Note: its in standard libraries from Python 2.5.
