I wrote a debugger based on ptrace using ctypes: http://fusil.hachoir.org/trac/wiki/python-ptrace The debugger works well on: - Ubuntu Gutsy, i386 - Debian Etch, x86_64 <= yes, it works well - Debian Etch, ppc32 - FreeBSD 6.2 and 7.0, i386 <= yes, ctypes runs fine on FreeBSD too (so Python 2.4 with ctypes the external ctypes module and Python 2.5 with included ctypes) I have no other computer to test other CPUs :) ctypes allows to write code working on CPython 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 (with 2to3), but also on PyPy! Jython plans also to support ctypes. So, please, retry ctypes ;-) -- Victor Stinner aka haypo http://www.haypocalc.com/blog/ _______________________________________________ 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
