:mod:`ctypes` tries to protect you from calling functions with the wrong number
|
||||
of arguments or the wrong calling convention. Unfortunately this only works on
|
||||
Windows. It does this by examining the stack after the function returns, so
|
||||
although an error is raised the function *has* been called::

||||
.. note::

>>> windll.kernel32.GetModuleHandleA() # doctest: +WINDOWS

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ValueError: Procedure probably called with not enough arguments (4 bytes missing)

:mod:`ctypes` may raise a :exc:`ValueError` after calling the function, if
|
||||
it detects that an invalid number of arguments were passed. This behavior
|

should not be relied upon. It is deprecated in 3.6.2, and will be removed
|
||||
in 3.7.

|

The same exception is raised when you call an ``stdcall`` function with the
|
||||
:exc:`ValueError` is raised when you call an ``stdcall`` function with the
|
||||
``cdecl`` calling convention, or vice versa::
