We have one. It's called writing an extension module. ctypes is a crutch because it doesn't realistically have access to the header files. It's a fine crutch for PyPy, which doesn't have much of an alternative. It's also a fine crutch for people who need something to run *now*. It's a horrible strategy for the standard library. If you have a better proposal please do write it up. But so far you are mostly exposing your ignorance and insisting dramatically that you be educated. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ 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
