+Author: Reiner Herrmann <reiner@reiner-h.de>
+Description: Fix argument parsing of device names
+ PyArg_ParseTuple was called with the format string "s*" to parse the
+ passed device name into a C string.
+ But according to Python C-API documentation, "s*" is used for parsing data
+ into a Py_buffer structure:  https://docs.python.org/2/c-api/arg.html
+ To store it into a C string, "s" has to be used.
+ (Memory doesn't need to be freed, as it is managed by Python.)
+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/857346
