Issue with 'unsigned char const *'

Hello,

I'm trying to use StyledTextCtrl_MarkerDefineRGBAImage function,
but I can't find out how the image must be passed.

From scintilla documention I get that it is supposed to be 

SCI_MARKERDEFINERGBAIMAGE(int markerNumber, const char *pixels)

so I thought it should work by providing a string

img = '\x00\x00\x00\x00'
editor.RGBAImageSetWidth(14)
editor.MarkerDefineRGBAImage(0,img)



then I tried passing a list

img = [0,0,0,0]
editor.MarkerDefineRGBAImage(0,img)



and finally I tried using ctypes with byte and ubyte

import ctypes
img = ctypes.c_ubyte*4
img.from_buffer_copy('\x00\x00\x00\x00')
<c_ubyte_Array_4 object at 0x7f9902a5c9e0>
for i in img():
    print i

0
0
0
0

editor.MarkerDefineRGBAImage(0,img())

editor.MarkerDefineRGBAImage(0,ctypes.byref(img()))

editor.MarkerDefineRGBAImage(0,ctypes.pointer(img()))

but all returned the same error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-3.0-gtk2/wx/stc.py", line 6371, 
in MarkerDefineRGBAImage
    return _stc.StyledTextCtrl_MarkerDefineRGBAImage(*args, **kwargs)
*TypeError: in method 'StyledTextCtrl_MarkerDefineRGBAImage', expected 
argument 3 of type 'unsigned char const *'*
    
So, how do I provide a 'unsigned char const *'?

Thank you
Claudia
