Can someone with experience on python's ctypes comment on that? I read
the terse documentation and tutorial on ctypes, and it doesn't say that
one shouldn't be able to use c_void_p as a pointer, and it doesn't
really say how using POINTER could change things (it seems to create a
new pointer type, but I fail to see why that should help?)

That having said, if you provide a patch, I'll be applying it if it
fixes things.
