Come now, of course it is. It may not be problematic for *you*, but it *is* problematic for a lot of people. The pool of people competent to write solid, Pythonic, capable Python code and contribute it-- then add a few lines of ctypes for a windows-specific workaround-- is surely larger then the pool of people competent to write a safe C extension. I know I only *barely* fit into the latter category. Maybe Cython'll be mature enough eventually that the stdlib could accept Cython-based "C" extensions for such cases. -- Stephen Hansen ...
