The ctypes documentation incorrectly indicates that
pointers have a "value" attribute.  I believe this should 
instead read a "contents" attribute.

"""
14.14.2.7 Fundamental data types

Subclasses of fundamental data types do not inherit
this   behaviour. So, if a foreign functions restype is
a subclass of c_void_p, you will receive an instance of
this subclass from the function call. Of course, you
can get the value of the pointer by accessing the value
attribute.
