[pypy-dev] compilemodule.py not working

[Haggai Eran]

Hi
I cannot get the compilemodule to work. It seems that strings returned
from PyString_FromStringAndSize are unwrapped automatically, causing
ctypes.byref to fail.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../bin/compilemodule.py", line 12, in ?
    main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/src/pypy-dist/pypy/rpython/rctypes/tool/compilemodule.py",
line 78, in main
    c_ext_module = compilemodule(argv[1], interactive=True)
  File "/usr/src/pypy-dist/pypy/rpython/rctypes/tool/compilemodule.py",
line 26, in compilemodule
    module = ModuleClass(space, space.wrap(modname))

in new_interned_str
    PyString_InternInPlace(byref(w_s))
TypeError: byref() argument must be a ctypes instance, not 'str'
