Aren't there any modules in stdlib that access system API through ctypes? My arguments for ctypes: 1. doesn't require compilation 2. easier to maintain (no C/toolchain knowledge/ownership needed) 3. pure Python is impossible to exploit (unlike pure C) 4. eating your own dogfood helps to make modules complete and notice such silly/critical/timewasting/drivesmemad errors as http://bugs.python.org/issue16376 a few years earlier Maybe it could even help to make ctypes faster (through some caching mechanizm). -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ 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
