That was just to get it building and running :( There's still more work to do to make sure that Python's only using non-banned APIs to make it Metro compliant so that something can actually be shipped in the app store.
There were a bunch of other places where I ran into APIs which were still banned: thread local storage, registry APIs, console / env vars, and some others. I was able to make some progress in #ifdef'ing those out but never made it far enough to get a build that passed all the checks.

So your saying that disabling ctypes removes that dependency? -Marcell V.C On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 1:23 PM, Dino Viehland <di...@microsoft.com<mailto:di...@microsoft.com>> wrote: There's PythonCE which is CPython for ARM devices for Windows - not sure how active that is or how much it matters. About 6-12 months ago I attempted building CPython for ARM and the Dev11 compilers. It built and ran fine - although I didn't run all of the CPython tests. I think the main change (other than upgrading projects/solutions) I needed to make to get it to build was disabling ctypes support.
