Solution to Null Byte restriction?

s#

s# (string, Unicode or any read buffer compatible object) [const char *, int (or Py_ssize_t, see below)]

This variant on s stores into two C variables, the first one a pointer to a character string, the second one its length. In this case the Python string may contain embedded null bytes. Unicode objects pass back a pointer to the default encoded string version of the object if such a conversion is possible. All other read-buffer compatible objects pass back a reference to the raw internal data representation.
