Hi,
Is this with python 2.7 or python 3.4? There are changes to ctypes code needed to make it work with python 3.4 strings. See further along in your reference link as an example.
I would debug this code (the full code from your example) outside of the plugin environment by getting it to work in a straight python program first, using the exact same python version 2.7 or 3.4 you want the plugin to work under. Be careful as some linux systems now install python3 as just python and have renamed the old python to python2.
Running python at the terminal prompt should tell you which is found first in your path and what version it is.
Post you full standalone example here and I will test it onmy MacOS machine to see exactly what error you are getting.
Just make sure you are using the correct python version your code expects.

If it does, then it will remove the hyphen from the word in the ePub.
I've decided to use the python "ctypes" calls to do this job and I found a helpful site at http://thispageintentionally.blogspo...-hunspell.html.
This site uses the following code to load the library:
<code>
import os
# set up path strings to a dictionary
dpath = '/Users/dcortes1/Desktop/scratch'
daff = os.path.join(dpath, 'en_US.aff')
ddic = os.path.join(dpath, 'en_US.dic')
print( os.access(daff,os.R_OK), os.access(ddic,os.R_OK) )
# Find the library -- I know it is in /usr/local/lib but let's use
# the platform-independent way.
import ctypes.util as CU
libpath = CU.find_library( 'hunspell-1.3.0' )
# Get an object that represents the library
import ctypes as C
hunlib = C.CDLL( libpath )
</code>
Unfortunately this produces the error when I run it in a Sigil plugin:
Error: bad argument type for built-in operation
Where is the error in this code?
