.Notes for Reviewers
Using the
*
operator is the expected way to create a C array usingctypes
, butmypy
is confused about it.Docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html#arrays
This is a frequently-run code path covered by lots of tests, so I think just ignoring this warning from
mypy
is safe.
