[python-win32] get bitmapbits string from PyBITMAP pointer value

[game4 sale]

Hi guys,

I am trying to get BitmapBits from PyBITMAP object. As per the pywin32 doc,
i guess i managed to unpack the PyBITMAP structure to get the pointer to
bitmap bits. But when i use that pointer in PyGetMemory() i get
"ValueError: The value is not a valid address for reading"

Any clues please? How to get those bitmapbits as string from the pointer
value?

Please find my attached code below. I used print screen/Copy image before
running my code.

PS: I used win32ui API GetBitmapBits() successfully, but when i package my
application using py2exe it causes problems loading win32ui.pyd even after
adding MFC related DLLs. So now i am trying to avoid win32ui APIs in my
code (if possible) since i used win32ui only for BMP image handling
