Dear Thomas & List!

Is this by design?

That's what I expect:

> >> from ctypes import *
> >> a=c_uint(0)
> >> a
c_ulong(0)

But the following not:
> >> class E(Structure): _fields_ = [('a', c_uint)]
... 
> >> e=E(0)
> >> e.a
0L
> >> e.a.__class__
<type 'long'> 

That gives problems e.g. When taking output from one DLL function and
feeding it as input to the next DLL function, as ctypes will complain that
it expected a ctypes data structure.

I'm not sure, why I stumbled across this only now... Or is there something I
am missing?

Thanx for any pointers!
Axel
