[New-bugs-announce] [issue26332] OSError: exception: access violation writing <...> (Windows 10 x64, Python 3.5.1)

[JK]

New submission from JK:

Hi!

I came across this mysterious bug the other week, and I haven't yet found any resolution to it. In my case, I am using a proprietary 3rd party C/C++ DLL for functionality within Python, however I've come across a few others who have run into the same issue with an open source project.

My traceback is essentially:

    return cppapi.DoSomething(hAlpha, pzString1, pzString2);
OSError: exception: access violation writing 0x00000000576EE908

However, you can see a very similar scenario taking place here too:
https://github.com/asweigart/pyperclip/issues/25

(However, I did not see a bug report filed here on behalf of them)

This MIGHT be related to http://bugs.python.org/issue20160 but I am not certain.

Thanks!
