Nice in theory but ctypes already works on at least the top 3 popular platforms. Lets not hold Python's stdlib back because nobody who uses IBM and HP proprietary stuff has contributed the necessary support. Making nice libraries available for other platforms is a good way to encourage people to either pitch in and add support or consider their platform choices in the future. -gps _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
