In Python 2.5 it is already included. The homepage is kind of confusing: it's about ctypes, but below under Related projects is where it discusses ctypeslib. Ctypeslib is not ctypes, it's a tool to be used with ctypes. ctypeslib will parse header files and output python code: something that ctypes doesn't do. ctypeslib isn't included in anything else (/usr/share/pyshared/numpy/ctypeslib.py) is something different. I've searched the relevant files with apt-file, if you do know of ctypeslib somewhere, please let me know. Since squeeze will be released with Python 2.5 and 2.6, and ctypes has been removed from Debian just days ago, can you please explain why you want to package this tool? It probably makes sense now... I'm wanting to package this to get it wider visibility, and hopefully make it more useful to a wider audience. I've been a longtime user of ctypes, and the main reason I haven't used ctypeslib more is that it wasn't in Debian before.
