Replacing the streams breaks IPython #2
Description
In the IPython interactive console, if I type
import win_unicode_console.streams
win_unicode_console.streams.enable()I get an infinite stream of errors, all of which appear to be as follows:
ArgumentError Traceback (most recent call last)
C:\Users\uk03306\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\IPython\terminal\interactiveshell.py in raw_input(self, prompt)
588
589 try:
--> 590 line = py3compat.str_to_unicode(self.raw_input_original(prompt))
591 except ValueError:
592 warn("\n********\nYou or a %run:ed script called sys.stdin.close()"
C:\Users\uk03306\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\win_unicode_console\streams.py in write(self, b)
84 code_units_written = c_int()
85
---> 86 retval = WriteConsoleW(self.handle, buffer, code_units_to_be_written, byref(code_units_written), None)
87 bytes_written = 2 * code_units_written.value
88
ArgumentError: argument 4: <class 'TypeError'>: expected LP_c_ulong instance instead of pointer to c_long
I'm sure this counts as just another case of "the module doesn't play nicely with the interactive REPL" (that same enable call fails in a normal Python console, or one with just pyreadline installed, as well, but not quite as badly...), but I thought I'd report it here just in case there was something else going on. I have pyreadline installed with IPython, as recommended, and that does some fairly complicated low-level console hacking which might interact badly with this module.
