Thank you, before I never had found "Use None for void a function not
returning anything" at:
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/reference.html
Now I see, that find corresponds to:
http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/ctypes-foreign-functions.html
I think this remains an FAQ, because I see void is missing from much
more prominent places:
http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/node452.html "Fundamental data types"
http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/ctypes-return-types.html
Finding a way to suggest improving those docs would help more than
suggesting an FAQ, I agree.

Yes and no. The whole FAQ suggested was:
FAQ: How do I say unsigned char in ctypes?
A: ctypes.c_ubyte
ctypes doesn't define c_uchar. This actually is doc'ed, it's just
annoying.
Per your kind correction above re void, I see we could also say:
FAQ: How do I say returns void in ctypes?
A: restype = None
ctypes doesn't define c_void. This actually is doc'ed obscurely, it's
just irregular.
