New issue 49 by cool.tes...@gmail.com: Structures change type from python
readable!
http://code.google.com/p/ctypesgen/issues/detail?id=49

Well I took a library called libdlo and produced a wrapper. Here is the
code I ran...

>>> info = dlo_mode_t()
>>> info
<dlo.struct_dlo_mode_s object at 0xb6c4df80>
>>> info = dlo_get_mode(uid)
>>> info
<dlo.LP_struct_dlo_mode_s object at 0xb692d030>

Now the C code is...

dlo_mode_t *mode_info;
info = dlo_get_mode(uid);

I am on Debian 7.0 Wheezy armhf Raspberry Pi, but this doesn't really have
to do with my issue.

So it seems that the structures produced by ctypes is not compatible with
those made by the wrapper!
I tried doing something like
`LP_struct_dlo_mode_s = struct_dlo_mode_s`
Yet it didn't work, It's really hard to jerry-rig this stuff hahaha

This is not a bug. In C you create a pointer to the type so the same in
python would be:

info = ctypes.POINTER(dlo_mode_t)
