Very entertaining.

But let me get this straight:   Are you just complaining that if you
pass a string to an arbitrary C function using ctypes, that that
arbitrary function can modify the string?

Because if you are, then I think you share a great deal of
responsibility for the death of that string -- sending the poor thing
to its grave through some unknown C function.

What would you have ctypes do instead?
