I would think so, yes. Including them in the Python distribution, without licensing the entire Python distribution under GPL, would be a GPL violation. The actual libffi appears to have a fairly liberal license (also it still requires to include the LICENSE file, atleast in the source distribution). Importing the original source in /external would be no problem (AFAICT), as long as you then delete them during/after the svn cp. > Maybe it would be possible to reimplement the functionality in the > setup.py script, but this is way beyond my expertise. Right. Given the large number of people that want to see this happen (not necessarily on python-dev, but on comp.lang.python), I'm sure there is somebody who can come up with a build process. If nobody volunteers to do the actual work, I have no problems with dropping the idea for now. I wouldn't have any problems with just including a Windows port, either.
