He didn't accept it - he didn't reject it, either. Notice that this thread did *not* propose to include ctypes: instead, it suggested to include ctypes *in order to implement _winreg*. This is something completely different, and this is what Guido rejected: Implementing _winreg with ctypes is indeed a bad idea, IMO. Whether or not ctypes should be included is a different story.
