Comment (by albertstrasheim):

 Thomas Heller says:

 This is not a ctypes bug.

 It seems that A.ctypes._as_parameter_ is a Python integer. These are
 passed as 'C int' type to foreign function calls. (The C int type
 typically has 32 bits on 64-bit platforms, while a pointer has 64 bit.)

 To pass a pointer, A.ctypes._as_parameter_ should be a ctypes c_void_p
 instance, not a Python integer.
