# NOTE: We don't call the `GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo` API through
# `self._winapi`. Doing so causes Python to crash on certain 64bit
# Python versions. (Reproduced with 64bit Python 2.7.6, on Windows
# 10). It is not clear why. Possibly, it has to do with passing
# these objects as an argument, or through *args.
# The Python documentation contains the following - possibly related - warning:
# ctypes does not support passing unions or structures with
# bit-fields to functions by value. While this may work on 32-bit
# x86, it's not guaranteed by the library to work in the general
# case. Unions and structures with bit-fields should always be
# passed to functions by pointer.
