c_string missing from ctypes?

[Jacob Rael]

Hello,

I was following along with this site:

http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/archives/000659.html

and I got a error. It boils down to:

====================

In [9]: import ctypes
In [10]: dir(ctypes.c_string)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>        Traceback (most recent call
last)

P:\<ipython console> in <module>()

<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'module' object has no attribute
'c_string'

====================


I google ctypes.c_string and many people use it.

I am using python 2.5 with ctypes version: 1.0.1  on a windows
machine.

I have to admit I don't know where ctypes came from. I tried to re-
install it but the window binaries only support 2.4.

Also:

http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/tutorial.html

seems dead.

An info is greatly appreciated.
