When dealing with a Structure containing c_char variables, the variables are incorrectly being typed as bytes.  As a result, a pointer to those c_char variables can not be created because bytes is not a ctypes type.

from ctypes import (
    Structure,
    c_char,
    pointer,
)


class MyStruct(Structure):
    _fields_ = [("a", c_char), ("b", c_char), ("c", c_char)]


x: MyStruct = MyStruct(98, 99, 100)

print(type(x.a))
# Prints <class 'bytes'> ???  Both mypy and PyRight agree that x.a is a c_char.

some_variable = pointer(x.a)
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "C:\Users\cires\ctypes_test.py", line 23, in <module>
#     some_variable = pointer(x.a)
# TypeError: _type_ must have storage info
