Error with Enum GCHandleType.Pinned #174

Description

@aPere3

Hello,

I try to use the following snippet from this page to turn a byte[] into a numpy array:

from ctypes import string_at
clr.AddReference("System.Runtime.InteropServices")
from System.Runtime.InteropServices import GCHandle, GCHandleType

handler = GCHandle.Alloc(CSArray, GCHandleType.Pinned)
try:
    pointer = handler.AddrOfPinnedObject().ToInt32()
    dest = np.fromstring(string_at(pointer, len(CSArray))) 
finally:
    if handler.IsAllocated: handler.Free()

On this line:

handler = GCHandle.Alloc(CSArray, GCHandleType.Pinned)

I get the following error: TypeError: No method matches given arguments

Executing this code:

handler = GCHandle.Alloc(CSArray)

brings no error, so I assume that the issue must be from GCHandleType.Pinned.

I'm a bit troubled by:

print(type(GCHandleType.Pinned))
>>>int
print(GCHandleType.Pinned)
>>>3

Is it normal that enumare modeled by int?

Anyway, I can't get to have my code working...
