Ctypes Linux行为在py2和py3上有所不同

Question

While writing a python wrapper for the getmntent linux libc function, there is a strange difference between the behaviour between python 2.x and 3.x for the following code where most of the real work is done by the C library. Since I interface C code with python often, Can anyone explain or correct what is going wrong?

import ctypes
import sys

class mntent(ctypes.Structure):
    _fields_ = [("fsname", ctypes.c_char_p),
                ("dir", ctypes.c_char_p),
                ("type", ctypes.c_char_p),
                ("opts", ctypes.c_char_p),
                ("freq", ctypes.c_int),
                ("passno", ctypes.c_int)]

def main():
    libc = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('libc.so.6')
    libc.getmntent.restype = ctypes.POINTER(mntent)
    libc.fopen.restype = ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_void_p)
    fp = libc.fopen('/etc/mtab', 'r')
    while True:
        mounts = libc.getmntent(fp)
        if bool(mounts) == False:
            libc.fclose(fp)
            break
        print("%30s   %10s    %s"%(mounts.contents.dir, mounts.contents.type, mounts.contents.fsname))

main()

The expected output contains all the mount devices listed with their types and mount points. On python 3.x it gives an empty list.

在Python 3中，所有字符串都是unicode，但是libc.fopen()希望简单字节字符串作为其参数：

fp = libc.fopen(b'/etc/mtab', b'r')
