Lars's 4d25dc44 (git-p4: check free space during streaming, 2015-09-26) introduced two references to ctypes.* and there is no 'import ctypes' anywhere in the script. I do not follow Python development, but does the above mean that with recent 2.x you can say ctypes without first saying "import ctypes"? It feels somewhat non-pythonesque that identifiers like this is given to you without you asking with an explicit 'import', so I am puzzled. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
