Well, there's 64-bit support and then there's 64-bit support. While all Unix or Unix like OSs follow LP64 model, I believe Win64 follows a P64 model. So it's a whole new ball game.

Re: [Python-Dev] Python Software Foundation seeks mentors and students for Google Summer of Code
>>>>> Neal Norwitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Please add your project ideas to the existing set at > http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode I'd like to see ctypes supported on GCC ARM platforms. ARM is the only major Debian architecture that's not supported by ctypes. The underlying issue is lack of closure API support for ARM in libffi. I see a patch available at http://handhelds.org/~pb/arm-libffi.dpatch, that should be hopefully a good starting point. ctypes CVS has a libffi_arm_wince directory, which also seems to support closure API.

I started editing the page, then I thought I'd first post here to get your feedback :-).

There is a C aync event notification library called libevent which wraps kqueue, epoll, /dev/poll etc and provides a unified interface (See http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/).

Re: [Python-Dev] Include ctypes into core Python?
>>>>> Thomas Heller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > It looks like we need a pronouncement now. +1 I am a lurker in this list. I maintain ctypes for Debian and I would love to see it in core python. Debian now includes ctypes for 10 Linux architectures and kFreeBSD. The only missing significant architecture is ARM because of lack of FFI support.
