@HamidFzM No, not really. If I have an ID, I maybe don't even know whether the object still exists or not.

repr outputs the hexadecimal representation of id(a), in order to use ctypes one must convert it back to decimal by using int(hexid, 0). just my two cents here

Is there a way to check if a memory address exists first before doing this? If you pass an invalid value (say, because it's been garbage collected), the interpreter segfaults.
